It’s time that the American People, not Democrats, Republican, Independents, but Americans, to fight back against the lies of the Pelosi led Democrats and their equally guilty Mainstream Media for backing the lies they’ve both told to take down this promise keeping, outsider non-politician President who only came to Washington to deliver the simple message of only wanting to make America first and great again!
With the Dems new ‘Verbal’ attacks, and that’s because they have nothing left to throw at this President, are that’s President Trump’s partisan impeachment hoax will be that ‘Asterisk’ that will appear on his record for History to see forever! Well, the truth of the matter is that ‘asterisk,’ like a juvenile who might have gotten in trouble with the law legitimately, and not falsely made up then charged with, can be ‘expunged’ from that person’s record!
I have to believe that the American people, like we’ve done so many times in history, shouldn’t have a problem righting a wrong, especially when the wrong is attaching an ‘asterisk’ to this duly elected by 63 Million Americans, who has been under attack from day one for the first 3 years of his Administration, and from what I have to believe is all about policy differences!
The choices are supporting the guaranteed individual rights of our founder’s Constitutional Republic, or to welcome the Global Democratic Socialism New World Order that the ‘Left’ has been force feeding every American while using the ‘Deep State’ to back their play since the first day Obama laid his hand on the Bible and lied about protecting and defending the Constitution!
Pelosi would love for all the American People to believe everything she says is factual, but when it comes to the list of accusations that she labeled as lies that President Trump said during his SOTU Address, and the reasons she listed for ripping up the copy of the President’s SOTU Address on live and in living color on National Television, she, in Adam Schiff’s words, got ‘CAUGHT’ lying again!!
Nancy Pelosi would love you to believe that by forcing President Trump to have to make the hard decisions when it comes to America and the American people because the Dems were/are too busy working on impeaching his ass, that he might possibly cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which by the way he can’t do without Congressional approval because the President doesn’t make law, Congress does!
When you compare Pelosi and Company numbers for 2020, and President Trump’s numbers, you’ll see it’s like comparing President Trump’s grapes to Pelosi and Company’s 50 lbs Pumpkin!
Note that while President Trump is looking to cut expenses while the Dems are looking to spend, not cut, Trillions of taxpayer dollars on Climate Change for the world, and Healthcare for all, including illegals, and paying for it by taxing the job producing ‘American Dream’ visionaries and industrialists who will in the long run have to eliminate those jobs that are making America first and great again!
Pre-Existing Conditions…
I’m hearing Nancy Pelosi ramble on and on for the second time in 12 hours, she continues to pretend that the American people don’t know that she treats them like Stalin’s ‘Useful Idiots’ and I hope and pray that she gets the gavel to the House to further embarrass the Democratic Party! She thinks that Republicans don’t take into account preexisting conditions, she pretends that Obamacare and the individual mandate, which is intentionally used to crush the Middle class because the rich don’t need their coverage paid for, and the poor get their coverage paid for, while the Middle Class, which by the way doesn’t exist in their Socialist model, further diminishes the existence of the Middle Class because Socialist don’t want a path to the upper class, and have no intention of giving the poor a place to hang out before moving further up the ladder to the upper class through the Middle Class on the way to achieving their American Dream!
She’s going on about transparency which never existed under the 8 years of the Obama Administration
Trump Administration Gets Smart on Pre-Existing Conditions
Workers get portable insurance, and the chance to select their own plan, while businesses can avoid the paperwork and bureaucracy that comes with running a health plan for their employees.
The Trump administration released its final rule regarding Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). The 497-page document will take lawyers and employment professionals weeks to absorb and digest fully. But in a nutshell, the rule will help to make coverage more portable and affordable—while also going a long way to resolve the problem of pre-existing conditions.
As I first explained when the administration proposed this HRA rule back in October, much of the problem surrounding pre-existing conditions revolves around portability. Because most Americans don’t own their own health coverage—their employers do—when people lose their job, they lose their health coverage. The pre-existing condition problem emerges when people develop a costly medical condition while at one job, then have to switch jobs or otherwise leave their employer plan.
Solving the portability problem—allowing health coverage to go from job to job—would go a long way towards solving the pre-existing condition problem. Of course, Democrats don’t talk about solving the portability problem because they don’t want to solve it. They want the government to control everything through a single-payer health care system. That’s why they spend so much time talking about a symptom (people with pre-existing conditions who can’t get coverage) rather than the underlying disease (coverage not being portable).
But if people owned their own insurance policies, they could change jobs easily, without fear of losing their coverage. Moreover, they would get to pick the kinds of benefit designs and doctor networks they want, rather than being stuck with what their employer picks for them.
Prescription Drugs….
How President Trump is lowering prescription drug prices!
Over the past year, we’ve seen action in every area of the president’s blueprint, helping people all across the country afford the drugs they need.
By Fred Schuster Contributor
Just over a year ago, President Donald Trump and his health secretary, Alex Azar, stood in the Rose Garden at the White House and told the American people they were going to start putting patients first and lower prescription drug prices.
Over the past year, we’ve seen action in every area of the president’s blueprint, helping people all across the country afford the drugs they need.
Starting in July, for instance, drug companies will be required to include the price of their drugs in TV ads. While insurance can reduce the cost of the drugs you need, it’s important to know that you may owe the price displayed until you hit your deductible, or you may owe a share of the price displayed.
Having this information right in the ads will help you know if the drug you might ask your doctor about is actually affordable. One common advertised drug treats a skin condition and has a list price of $3,400 a month but is only covered by four of 27 Medicare Part D drug plans in Texas. Patients asking their doctors about the drug might owe that price every month.
That’s not the only way we’re helping you get more information. Last month, Medicare finalized a requirement that Part D plans provide a new tool to help you actually understand what a drug might cost you while you’re still in the doctor’s office.
Once you get to the pharmacy, thanks to work by the president and Congress, your pharmacist can always tell you when you’re getting the best deal on the drugs you need.
Trump is also working to replace a broken system of kickbacks for middlemen with discounts that benefit you right at the pharmacy counter. For seniors who need expensive drugs, this change could mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars in savings every year.
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
His fiscal 2020 proposal unveiled Monday calls for reductions in funding for Medicare and Medicaid relative to current law. Over a decade, the plan would shave an estimated $800 Billion ($80 Billion a year) or more off Medicare. Now let’s compare that to the Trillions a year the Dems want to spend on Climate Change, and Trillions more they want to spend Healthcare for all, and that includes illegals? Hmmm….
Medicare covers older Americans, It would also cut spending on Medicaid, the federal-state program that insures low-income Americans, by more than $200 billion ($20 Billion a year) while setting up block grants to states.
Trump pledged to protect Medicare and Medicaid, but his 2020 budget calls for major spending cuts
Congress ultimately decides what money to spend, and Trump’s proposal is not likely to get through Capitol Hill. Still, a budget represents a president’s priorities even if it may not ultimately impact Americans’ lives.
The proposed Medicare changes aim to address waste and abuse in the system — efforts that both major parties have supported in the past. It is “hard to predict how these proposals would affect patient care if they became law,” said Tricia Neuman, director of the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Program on Medicare Policy.
While spending would still rise under Trump’s plan, it would not climb as much as it would under current law.
His proposal fits within a broader Republican push to reform the massive federal safety net programs Medicare and Social Security, which are projected to come under an increasing strain in the coming years from the aging U.S. population. During last year’s midterms, Democrats frequently warned about potential GOP efforts to trim the programs in order to make up for revenue shortfalls created by corporate and individual tax cuts passed in 2017.
Medicare — which covers roughly 60 million people over age 65 — accounted for about 15 percent of the federal budget in 2017, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. It is set to make up about 18 percent of federal outlays in 2028.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Upon the release of Trump’s proposed 2020 Budget for Fiscal Year 2020 (which began in October 2019), $25 billion in cuts to Social Security over ten years was a factor widely reported:
Over the next 10 years, Trump’s 2020 budget proposal aims to spend $1.5 trillion less on Medicaid — instead allocating $1.2 trillion in a block-grant program to states — $25 billion less on Social Security, and $845 billion less on Medicare (some of that is reclassified to a different department). Their intentions are to cut benefits under Medicaid and Social Security. T
… The budget also continues an attack on Social Security, including to a program that gives assistance to those who have disabilities that prevent them from being in the workforce. In all, the cuts to Social Security amount to $25 billion over the next 10 years, cutting roughly $10 billion from the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program, which the administration says will be found through cutting down on fraud — a common conservative talking point.
OBAMA UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WENT FROM 10% TO 5%!
REALITY EXPOSES THE LIE OF THE OFFICIAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE!
Telling lies with statistics is so easy even a politician can do it. An economist named Darrell Huff once wrote a best-seller about it, “How to Lie With Statistics.” Harry S. Truman identified three kinds of lies, “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” That was more than a half-century ago, and the art and science of prevarication have only been improved through frequent use.
President Obama won the “Lie of the Year Award” in 2013, given by the fact-checking team at the Tampa Bay Times (“if you like your health care plan you can keep it”), and he has taken an early lead this year with his claim that he has produced a “robust economy” with an unemployment rate that has fallen under 5 percent. In his State of the Union address last month, Mr. Obama said the jobless rate “is now lower than it was before the financial crisis” of 2007-2008. That’s a lie by statistic.
The Labor Department in its monthly unemployment rate, reported Friday, said that the jobless rate was down .3 percent to 4.7 percent in May, which it attributes to those who had stopped looking for work now re-entering the labor market, encouraged by a “booming” economy. Mr. Obama attributes the “boom” to his big-spending ways, and his 2016 budget calls for more poison.
Unlike the “official” jobless rate, the Labor Department’s so-called “U-6” unemployment rate includes those working part time but who want a full-time job and can’t find one. The U-6 rate stood at 13.8 (Gallup) percent in May, nearly 3 times the official rate.
Obama owns worst economic number in 80 years since 1932!
Mr. Obama’s claim of a robust jobless rate takes no account of the record 94.4 million Americans no longer in the labor force. The labor participation rate was 62.6 percent in May, another low that recalled the “economic malaise” of the Carter presidency.
The administration’s jobless-rate claims fool no one beyond the Beltway, and certainly not Jim Clifton, the president and CEO of the Gallup polling organization. Mr. Clifton calls the 4.7 percent unemployment rate “the Big Lie.” Chastising mainstream media and Wall Street for “cheer leading for this number,” he says it’s “extremely misleading.”
Mr. Clifton notes the inconvenient truth that if someone is “so hopelessly out of work that you’ve stopped looking [for a job] over the past four weeks,” the Labor Department “doesn’t count you as unemployed.” If you work one hour a week and are paid at least $20, “you’re not officially counted as unemployed” in the under 6 percent figure.
Separately, Gallup reported Thursday that its own measure of underemployment stood at 13.8 percent for May. Gallup calculates the underemployment rate by combining the percentage of adults in the workforce who are unemployed with those who are working part time but want full-time work.
“Right now, as many as 30+ million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed,” Mr. Clifton says. “Trust me, the vast majority of them aren’t throwing parties to toast ‘falling’ unemployment.”
The Obama administration continues to tout the 4.7 percent jobless rate while a record number of discouraged Americans have dropped out of the labor market. What does it say about Mr. Obama, who promised the most “transparent” administration ever, that he touts jobless numbers so transparently phony? It’s par for a president who claims credit for cutting “our deficits … by two-thirds” after expanding them to record levels. Even the excuse of “statistics” can’t cover such whoppers.
PELOSI SAYS OBAMA STOCK MARKET UP FROM 6,000 TO 18,000
Don’t Credit Obama with the Stock Boom, Credit the Fed and the International Economy!
The Dow closed at about 7,949 on Inauguration Day in 2009, and about 19,732 on Obama’s last full day in office in January 2017. On election day 2016 the Dow closed at 18,332! Up 1,400 points after President Trump was elected!
Don’t Credit Obama with the Stock Boom, Credit the Fed and the International Economy
Stocks are booming, with the S&P and the Dow each near record highs. Does President Obama deserve the credit? The answer is: yes, but only some of it.
The historical rule tends to hold that presidents get credit for bad things that happen on their watch and for the good things that happen on their watch. But in the case of the stock market, I’d give Obama only a small percentage of the credit for the market boom— say 15 to 20 percent. The most important thing the Obama administration did for the economy—and for the markets—was to reverse the free fall of late 2008 and early 2009, stop the panic, and create the conditions for growth. The administration’s implementation and management of TARP and the auto and financial sector rescues, which began under the prior administration, were vital—and largely effective.
So, who else is responsible for the market boom? I’d give the Federal Reserve about 35-40 percent of the credit. Here’s why. The Fed, along with the Bush and Obama administrations, was an important factor in the bailouts. We tend to focus on TARP when looking back at the financial crises, but other, more obscure and under reported actions—the Fed’s guarantee of the commercial paper market, the Treasury’s guarantee of money-market funds, and the bailout of AIG—were just as important.
Many of those were led by the Fed. And for the last several years, the Fed has attempted to goose the economy by keeping overnight interest rates at zero, and by purchasing bonds and mortgage-backed securities to push long-term rates down. These efforts at quantitative easing have helped stock markets in several intended and unintended ways.
First, by pushing bond yields down to minuscule levels, the Fed has forced people seeking a return to plunge into riskier assets, like stocks. Second, the lower-rate environment has allowed many consumers to refinance mortgages and to gain access to lower-cost credit, which has freed up cash for other purchasers. That’s also good for stocks.
Third, and perhaps most significantly (and most overlooked) the low rates have been a boon to one of the factors that matters most for stock investors: corporate profits. Much of the press has focused on the way the financial sector has gorged itself and re-inflated thanks to free money provided by the Fed. That’s an important factor.
Obama started to play the bait and switch game by injecting the economy with what started out to be $40 Billion Dollars a month, and then raised it to $85 Billion Dollars a month, and doing it by basically printing money, he was actually adding that money to our National Debt, and if you had a little common sense you had to know that what was about to come, would come, and came, and caused the interest rates to go to ‘ZERO’ which took our parents retirement income and shoved it up their asses!
But more broadly, the low interest-rate environment has been a gift to companies. They’ve been able to refinance their debt, or undertake new borrowings for investment or acquisitions, at extremely low levels. In May, for example, IBM sold $1.2 billion in seven-year bond at an interest rate of just 1.625 percent. In effect, the low interest rates engineered by the Fed have allowed big companies to reduce their overhead and improve profits margins.

NATIONAL DEBT INCREASED BY $3 TRILLION DURING DONALD TRUMP’S THREE YEARS AS PRESIDENT
Pelosi and the Dems have run out of Impeachment Ammo, but with nothing left to do and no platform that will benefit the American people other than spending Trillions of dollars on protecting the world from their ‘Climate Change’ Hoax, and giving the same world an American taxpayer funded Healthcare for all, I would have to believe that…..
