    Wait a minute, if we cut this and birth rate falls, economy also falls because lower population usually leads to smaller growth in economy. Now if we deport hardworking immigrants, it will also be worse off for the economy.

    What’s the goal here? Make things worse?

      Yes. Rich people make bigger gains when the economy crashes. They can buy up assets for cheap. Look at all those ‘record breaking profits’ made during COVID.

        It is actually how the system works, just on steroids. Capitalism has the innate tendency for monopolization. At the end, the whole world will belong to one person and that person will rule everything. its just totalitarianism with extra steps.

      ofc. The goal is to destroy the country so oligarchs can come in and buy up everything at a fraction of the cost it would have cost had they not destroyed the country.

        This of course will turn the US into a 3rd world economy and lose its status as a world power. The countries that will do well over the next century are the ones that can prevent oligarchs from dismantling their economies and destroying their society.

    Was. It was. Well I mean it will be till next year then instead we will have lots of uninsured births and I assume a huge uptick in unskilled at home births and a huge uptick in dead babies. MAGA and MAHA indeed.

    At least if it does come down to civil war the conservatives would already have destroyed their communities.

        They’re too short-sighted to see that. They’re also booting out many of their cheap, opressed labor that are also consumers and taxpayers.

          That’s pre text to set up gestapo and labour camps IMHO

          the regime is putting in place the infrastructure for fascist oppression that will be used against citizens. Migrants are just easy target to transition us into oppression…

          They ways go after undesirables first.

      Here’s how it works in a poor third world country: https://archive.is/FL9qe (Original Washington Post article)

      It’s not just ER. Family medicine, dental, vision, full cancer treatment, palliative care… It’s all free, including drugs, for every human, citizen or otherwise, legal or otherwise. There was a conscious decision not to restrict healthcare access and not to employ people to restrict access.

      Technically you don’t have to. People have been having children since at least the 1500s, and they didn’t have medicade. There is nothing illegal about simply having a baby.

    All three of my children were born due to Medicaid. No way would I have afforded even one of my children births. My youngest is 16 and without Medicaid guess I will pay out of pocket for his healthcare.

      Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins laid out the administration’s vision in blunt terms on Tuesday. “There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way,” Rollins told reporters after meeting with Republican governors. “We move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people—able-bodied adults on Medicaid—we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

      Slimey piece of dog shit.

        Just to be clear they are counting every single adult on Medicaid as “able bodied” which is far far from true for Medicaid.

        All of those “able bodied adults” on Medicaid will of course be able to do farm labor.

        Just like my younger sibling, who has a genetic disorder with scoliosis that makes him look like Quasimodo and had three open heart surgeries before the age of 18.
