It's not about ideology, ffs get a grip.

The US is bleeding out because its government spends so much more than its society can generate via taxes. Its has a debt of 38 trillion dollars. The subsidies were adding to that.

People who say "we'd like to give you free money but can't afford it" aren't motivated by ideology, they're motivated by the money not being there. Borrowing just delays the inevitable and makes it worse - it's literally stealing from children and it doesn't fix anything.

There are ways to fix US healthcare but adding ever more debt won't do it.





Whether or not that's true economically, the idea that what Trump is doing will affect that in any positive way is, at this point, not merely ludicrous, but actively in denial of reality.

He is blatantly cutting spending on the many in order to give more to the wealthy few. Especially himself.
