for people who are going to lose their Obama care subsidies.
The Trump accounts are meant to help kids both financially for their futures and to teach them investing. Something that doesn't seem to be taught at all in public schools.
You cannot teach kids "investing". You can teach kids about the economy, the financial system, logical thinking, emotional intelligence & self-control, ethics & social responsibility, and practical life skills, like goal-setting and research skills (how to gather information, evaluate sources, and make informed choices).
Investing isn't some trick you can just teach. There are some investment options for people who don't have the skills I just listed, but that is just trusting some big investment firm to invest for you. It can make you some money, but mostly you are lending you their money to make money for the big investment firm. If it goes well, you get some money too, but if it doesn't you take the loss, because the big investment firms do a very job
of taking most of the profits for them and shifting the risk onto the clients.
I was taught early in life and if it weren't for the small investments I have, my life would suck a tiny hind tit for sure
That means you were just lucky to still have some.
It takes zero skill to do that, only some will.
A "cd (Certificate of Deposit) or money market account" is not really "investing".
It's basically trusting a bank to give you some of their profits, while THEY invest
with your money, making the real money for the wealthy who own the bank.
It's just another system designed to transfer more wealth to the wealthy.
The only chance you have to win in capitalism, is directly investing in stocks
or real assets. If you invest in stocks without skill, it's just g@mbling.
The reason for that money saving you from homelessness and starvation is your own aversion against "socialism". You could have been on disability benefits.
But you probably believed that only fraudsters got it, so you supported the grifters
for the wealthy to take it from you. And now you are doing that for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, remaining Disability benefits and Education support.
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
I don't know how much shame you should feel for being fooled a dozen times.

I guess it matters a lot to you that the person killing you has an American passport.
If you don't like to be killed by Americans either, you're the safest in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. You know, those horrible blue states.
-Donald Trump December 14
In 2023 the US imported around $4 trillion worth of goods.
According to Canadian math that is about 450% tariffs on
every single thing that comes into the United States.
I know the MAGA crowd loves him but math is not his strong suit.
If you cannot even understand simple numbers not adding up,
you will NEVER see anything.
The longest Federal government shutdown in history, which deeply impacted employees who have since been made whole, gives us a few things to consider.
The government was closed, and most lives and businesses went on as usual.
There is a lot less government we can live with and save with.
Dang, we have a lot of people on SNAP and Medicaid. If we can use today’s technology to eliminate fraud and abuse, we can help those who qualify with upward mobility.
Whenever the word “funding” comes up, that is the back doorway to say they want more money from you and your neighbors. Occasionally, it makes sense; most of the time, meh.
A small group of people can hold our bloated government hostage.
Among them: roughly 670,000 furloughed employees, and ~730,000 who continued working without pay.
Social safety-net users were also hit hard: about 42 million Americans rely on the food-aid program Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), many of whom experienced benefit delays or disruptions during the shutdown.
Beyond direct government workers or SNAP recipients, many Americans felt economic ripple effects: cancelled flights, disrupted travel, deferred purchases, lost income or income uncertainty, which weighed on consumer confidence and spending.
Great idea, let AI spy on everyone, so you can call the slightest discrepancy fraud,
and destroy those people's lives. This is clearly what people have been asking for.
Americans LOVE government control, and permanent surveillance.
Maybe first start with letting AI check if the wealthy are doing their taxes correctly.
That might result in catching some bigger fish, don't you think?
Trump's fraud alone would easily pay for the SNAP 'fraud' they found.
As for AI checking for fraud, go for it accross the board.find it all.
They are using that to destroy all systems that are important to people.
What alternatives are you getting for it?
In the case of social security, your alternative would be either working till you die,
your own investments or some private insurances. Do you think no one is cheating
on your investments or some private insurances?
Just shut the fuck up bitch and fix real problems instead of dredging up shit. Which this particular democrat looks like a man in a dress anyway.

Of course you ARE all living on stolen land.
You cannot give it back, because most of the original owners were genocided.
And you can also not be proud of building a nation, because the slaves did most of that.
You can still be thankful for the end of the civil war, which meant the preservation of the United States as a single nation and the triumph of freedom and equality for all its people. The values that triumphed with the Union victory were:
- National Unity
- Abolition of Slavery
- Freedom and Human Rights
- Democracy and Constitutional Government
- Communal Responsibility and Compassion
In essence, the values that "won" were the core American ideals of liberty, unity,
and justice for all, even as the nation continued (and still continues) to struggle with
the full implementation of these values.
That's something that America accomplished, instead of stealing it or making others
build it for you. That is the essence of America and what made America great.
And you can be sure that Rep. Ayanna Pressley is thankful for that.
What were African slaves used for?
The colonial South Atlantic and Caribbean economies were particularly dependent on slave labour for the production of sugarcane and other commodities. This was viewed as crucial by those Western European states which were vying with one another to create overseas empires.
Besides the work the slaves did before 1860 has long been replaced,
While difficult to calculate, scholars estimate that much of the physical infrastructure built before 1860 in the American South was built with enslaved labor. Railways were particularly critical infrastructure.
White slaves helped build europe working with your theory, so I want my repreations!
and the original inhabitants murdered or put in reservations.
The slaves were used for the base commodities of the economy.
They produced most of the raw goods. That's what built up America.
The whole argument why slavery couldn't be abandoned was that it was necessary
for the development of America. Obviously America did fine without it, but the South thought it important enough to have a war over it.
Reparations are not based on skin color, but on progeny. For slavery-based reparations, the eligibility criteria would almost certainly be limited to Black Americans who can demonstrate direct lineage to enslaved people in the United States, not all Black people in general.
Europe was built on the backs of poor people, who were almost property,
but they weren't captured in one land and sold as slaves in another.
You love to rewrite history, don't you.
The country "did fine" as you say on the backs of poor southerners that couldn't afford slaves but were punished for simply trying to protect their homes and property and lives.
Carpet bagging, look it up sometime.

through the early 1900s. It was almost slavery.
I know about carpet bagging, it's when opportunistic Northerners exploited
the poor Southerners. Why do you think I call Trump a carpetbagger?
Is that exploitation? What definition of 'exploitation' is that?
And now most of them see what a big mistake that was.
If you're fired from your job, because Trump called you a DEI hire,
that tends to sting a little bit.
Trump is bringing in completely unqualified numbskulls to replaces those
"DEI hires". He is actually doing what he is accusing DEI of doing.
IT is better than ocare,
You are correct that Obama Care sucks. That's because it is an original Republican plan. It still allows insurances to make a lot of money by exploiting the people. The only way to solve that is to create single payer healthcare.
Republicans have no plans, besides making healthcare worse.
Still, their morality beats what MAGA shows these days.
If there would be any culture adopting cannibalism, it would be yours.
Did ol sleepy joe do this?
Nope.

The Nobel Committee, a five-member body appointed by the Norwegian Parliament,
is not going to give Trump a prize for trying to steal another country's resources again,
by helping some dictator in power, even if that results in peace (temporarily).
IF they aint fighting, maybe you can get the dictators hooked on making money instead of killing and everyone will be better off then than they are now.
Winning would put Trump in the ranks with Jimmy Carter and Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt!
A excerpt for those to lazy to read the page.
"MILLER: If you subtract immigration out of test scores, all of a sudden our test scores skyrocket! If you subtract immigration out of health care, all of a sudden we don’t have near to the size of the health care challenges our country faces. If you subtract immigration out of public safety, all of a sudden we don’t have violent crime in so many of our cities. Issue after issue we talk about these things as they things just happen to us. The schools just suddenly fail. Violent crime just suddenly explodes. The deficit just suddenly skyrockets. These are a result of social policy choices that we made through immigration."
