Biden is a Disgrace

As previously pointed out there have only been a few drug prices cut out out of the thousands available.  Only a few people benefit from the diabetes cut as most people are covered by Medicare, Advantage & Supplement..

 

Almost half of the jobs are a result of the huge govt deficts as almost half the jobs come from govt & govt supported jobs.  Full time jobs are less than a year ago as most of the new jobs are part time.  8m people have more than 1 job.  Contruction and manufacturing job growth was negligible (BLS)

 

The claimed pandemic job growth are not new but are recovered jobs that were brought back.

 

Inflation is double that of Jan 2020.

 

biden was a draft dodger with multiple medical deferments, even though he was an all state football player.& has had his own tax problems.  Gag order from a biden donor disguised as a judge.  And of course there is no proof of Trump being an insurrectionist.

Now for the real story and facts.

 

The Atlantic is another democrat party newsletter.  The story came out in September 2020, just before the election, even though the alleged incident was several years old.  Goldberg is a hack writer famous for his obama puff pieces.  Kelly was a disgruntled former employee.

 

From Snopes, no fan of Trump.

 

Snopes was unable to independently verify the claim. Gen. John Kelly, who was with Trump during the trip as his chief of staff, he said, "I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather. Furthermore, there was no evidence of Kelly being around Trump to hear the alleged comments.

 

Then-U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also denied the claims in an interview with Fox News in September 2020. He said, "I was with him for a good part of that trip, if I'm thinking about this visit and the timing right, and I never heard him use the words that are described in that article. Just, I never saw it."

Stupid Tom has the right to vote for the scumbag he adores.

 

That scumbag wants to make it illegal to vote for anyone but him.

 

Tom is abusing his voting rights.

As previously pointed out....when Tom doesnt provide a source you know he pulled it straight out of his ass.

19 million people is "just a few"?   Tom's dishonesty knows no bounds.

 

 

Number of people impacted by Biden's drug prices

"When the $2,000 out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs applies in Medicare in 2025, nearly 19 million seniors and other beneficiaries are projected to save $400 per year on prescription drugs. The President is calling on Congress to expand the $2,000 out-of-pocket cap to all private insurance so that all Americans have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they won’t have to choose between filling their prescription or putting food on the table."

 

 

Round ONE of direct drug price cuts impacts 750K patients annually

"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), today announced 41 drugs available through Medicare Part B will have a lowered Part B coinsurance rate from April 1 – June 30, 2024, if the drug company raises prices faster than the rate of inflation.  An estimated 763,700 people with Medicare use one or more of these drugs annually."

 

 

Maybe Tom can remind us again how many people Trump cut drug prices for?     

 

 

 


About $3b per year.

 

The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the Medicare out-of-pocket-cap will cost the federal government about $30 billion over 10 years.

 

Or about $180b per year. So pj's ballyhooed paln saves consumers 1.6% per year.

Medicare Part B, Part D, and beneficiaries spent $560 billion on drugs from 2016 through 2018, $324 billion (GAO)

 

A little old, but it still doesn't tie into pj's $400 number.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, people enrolled in Medicare in 2010 spent on average around $300 per year on prescription drugs.

I'll be thrilled to vote for the catatonic, half-dead president in November.    And Tom/ David will be thrilled to vote for the same convicted felon, sexual assaulter, insurrectionist, defamation loser, draft-dodging, tax-cheating, witness tampering, gag-order  scumbag they voted for in the last 2 elections. 

 

Nice that we get to choose.   Aint America great?

 

 


   Why didn't you list the REAL anti America doings of the brain dead fraud you champion, such as - Afghanistan, 3 1/2 + years of open border, inflation, fuel costs, food costs, international shame, econony, weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ - to name a few. Why?  Your ignorance is appalling and asinine.

Your links dont work, nor does your math or any coherent point in your first two paragraphs.    

 

And you're pointing to drug prices in 2010 as your reference point even though drug prices have outpaced inflation for 14 years since then?   Holy shit, Tom, you've outdone yourself.

 

The point of the Biden bill was not to lower all drug prices - just the most expensive ones used en mass.    Grandma's 25 cent heartburn meds weren't impacted.   Grandma's $200 insulin was.       And it really gives you alot of sour grapes, doesnt it?

     

 

 

 

Sorry the links don;t work, but everything is sourced, so you are selcome to do a search.

 

And you're pointing to drug prices in 2010

 

That just proves that my 1.6% calculation is even lower with inflation.

 

The average senior spent about $54 per month with a Part D Plan on insulin in 2020, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation,

 

The $19 savings is peanuts when compared to the 19+% biden inflation. 

 

 

Stupid Tom blames everything bad on Biden, and gives him no credit for anything good.

 

What a complete idiot, as well as being dishonest and incoherent.

Your 1.6% calculation that you fabricated utilizing the "average senior"?

 

Nevermind the number you pulled out of your butt.   Your greater point is nonsensical.

 

 

The "average person" got less than 1% cost savings from Trump's Soybean subsidies.   Thats because "the average person" is not a Soybean farmer.   For the people who are it was a big deal.

 

And for the people who use any of the 41 drugs Biden cut prices on - thats a big deal for them.  Not so much for the people who dont use them.   Somebody call Captain Obvious to explain this dynamic to Tom.

 

And as I've already said....we are only in round 1.   More drugs are coming in later years...and next year all of Medicare drug prices are capped for out of pocket expenses which is projectred to save "the average senior $400"  .   See my previous links that actually work for details.
