So the Presidents Big Beautiful Bill has passed. Based on political narratives at least one of us on this site will die now. Who's it gonna be?

All of us are to die, at least naturally speaking.

I'm a proponent of being your own president, naturally speaking, in spite of whoever is in the house painted white. You are in office to pay the rent and bills in your house.

Someone has to die, that's the narrative.

Query: If a baby mamas on medicaid and watches the kid but the dad takes the dependent deduction on his tax returns, can she qualify for the taking care of dependent child exemption from the new medicaid work requirements

What political narrative? They're cheap and dirty. Credibility gap much?
On the other hand, no one here gets our alive, anyway, so, so what? I could die under the knife on Tuesday, and, if so, I've lived a great life. I seriously doubt that outcome.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced findings that an estimated 51,000 Americans could die each year due to Republican-led changes to the federal healthcare system and the broader reconciliation bill

And who the hell do they think they are? God Almighty? I doubt it. But, you get what you wish for. Mayhem? Sure, It''ll be in the mail tomorrow. All I know is that, having read what I have of the bill, so far [it is online, you know, so you can, and I'm about half through it], I've not yet encountered anything like that, and, of course, these guys have no interest in railroading Trump by absolute lies, do they?

Depends on if mom and dad area married, living together, and filing jointly, yes, both can take the child tax credit. If not, then only one [the child's caretaker] can take the tax credit

Yeah say they live together but not married. Dad can file as head of household and claim the kid as a dependent. Mom has no income on paper so it’s pointless for her to file taxes but she takes care of the kid. The new Medicaid has work requirements but does have an exemption for people who take care of dependents but the kids not her dependent for tax purposes it’s the dads dependent. If they do get married then the dads income goes on the moms Medicaid application and she won’t qualify for Medicaid anymore because the dads income is too high.

So, if the dad's income is too high, why's she on Medicaid, married or not? legally, maybe not fraud, but in a social context, it's still freeloading. Why can't she work from home and handle both tasks. Plenty of ambitious people do that. But5, no, why work when freeload is so available? Why? Because contributors to society do that. Freeloaders don't, and when they have no excuse for it, well, laziness has its own failures and one of them is that point: lack of ambition.

No see there's a difference between throwing people out of windows, stabbing them in the heart, shooting them in the face, dying of disease and accidents and implementing govt policies people don't like and making up BS numbers of dead people that haven't died. The later is much much worse. Do you see the difference now?

When you have 3 million people dying, you can take a small few of them and make up statistics and then it sounds bad.
