"Did Trump’s hatchet job on healthcare, education, food assistance, and other public services and egregious tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans deliver the prosperity and economic growth that he promised so effusively?

You’ll be just shocked to learn the answer is…no, of course not.

Time to log on."

"It’s been one year since the Republican Party rammed Donald Trump’s Big Awful Bill through Congress without a single Democratic vote, slashing taxes for the wealthy and gutting an array of popular public programs to pay for it."

"The economy was good. Wokeness was defeated."

The overweening greed of a cadre of super-rich men (and some women) and the captivity of media to those super-rich men (and some women) are among the most sordid stories of this sordid period of history. Such high, fine protestations of intellectua superiority and ethical insight — belied in such obvious ways by their bewhavior.

"America’s cultural elites needed a tool to stop progress. Sure, he was deranged. Sure, he was a criminal and a traitor. But the consequences of his reelection were unlikely to touch the elites while the consequences of the alternative very much would. So his liabilities were sanewashed & after he won, the press corps manufactured a consensus in which everything was going to be fine."

We’re told we don’t have enough money to fully fund public education. We’re told we don’t have enough money to care for those who are unhoused and struggling with mental or physical disabilities."

"According to the Trump Labor Department’s own jobs data published Friday (and also leaked early by Trump on Thursday), 2025 was the worst year for hiring since 2020, and what the Wall Street Journal says is the worst year for annual job growth outside of a recession since 2003."

"This didn’t happen because Congress didn’t know the deadline was coming or because the policy was unpopular. It happened because Republican leaders once again chose ideology and performative hostility toward Obamacare over the real, lived consequences for their own constituents.

The irony is rich enough to qualify as a public health hazard."

"As of today, the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium subsidies that made health insurance affordable for millions of Americans have expired. Not phased down, not gently unwound. Expired. The result is a sudden and punishing premium spike for people who buy their insurance on the ACA marketplaces — many of whom live in red states and vote Republican."

"2026 marks a pivot point where 'having insurance' no longer equates to 'having healthcare.' Between the loss of subsidies and the rise of massive deductibles, millions of Americans are becoming 'under-insured'—holding a card in their wallet they are too afraid to use because of the out-of-pocket costs."

Dr. Eric Lullove explains why healthcare is about to get a lot more expensive in 2026 as coverage falls off the cliff due to:

1. The Death of the “Enhanced” Subsidy

2. The Great Retreat: Aetna and UnitedHealthcare

3. The “Under-Insurance” Trap in Employer Plans

4. The Self-Employed “Tax Trap”

"The Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill of July—the one they call the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”—did not extend the premium tax credits for healthcare insurance bought on the Affordable Care Act market that subsidizes that insurance. Today, Senate Republicans voted against the Democrats’ measure to extend the premium tax credits for three years."

From 2024: #Louisiana lawmakers pass income and #corporate #TaxCuts, raising statewide #SalesTax to pay for it

By JACK BROOK
Updated 8:55 PM EST, November 22, 2024

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "Louisiana’s #GOP-dominated legislature passed tax cuts on personal and corporate income on Friday in exchange for a statewide sales tax increase, giving Gov. Jeff Landry much of what he wanted after his original tax reform package faced mounting resistance from lawmakers and lobbyists.

"The final passage of the tax measures wrapped up a special legislative session launched Nov. 6 by the governor and his allies. They said their purpose was to make the state’s tax code more business friendly, create jobs and reverse trends of outward migration from the state. It was the third special legislative session called by Landry, a Republican, since he assumed office in January.

"Critics warned the tax reforms would primarily benefit corporate #shareholders and #wealthy taxpayers while the sales tax increase would exacerbate Louisiana’s regressive tax system where #poorer households pay a higher percentage of their income on taxes."
