"Return the dignity of work to young men who need to be at work instead of playing video games all day."
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Republican efforts to attach work requirements to Medicaid, suggesting that young American men are wasting their lives "playing video games all day" instead of working.
Johnson's remarks came as House Republicans pushed forward a budget framework that would help finance President Donald Trump's tax cuts, with plans to slash federal spending by trillions. GOP leaders are eyeing $880 billion in reductions to Medicaid, a move critics warn could gut health coverage for millions of low-income Americans.
Separation of church and state seems to have been a pretty good idea despite Mike's idiocy in that regard as well. Maybe we also need a separation of economy and government too since their continued mismanagement has destabilized bonds, reduced confidence in US markets due to their manipulation, and an ongoing inability to even create a budget.
"separation of government and economy" is precisely what these assholes are angling for. Regulation is very good actually when it's done on behalf of the people.
The government regulates the credit card industry without holding a monopoly on using credit cards they create, and regulates the airline industry but doesn't make everyone buy their planes. I'm not arguing against regulation, but I'm also not a fan of monopolies held in public or private sectors.
