Interesting charts on the ACA premiums. What is not indicated is within the Red States what the break down is of participants if they are Republican or Democrat. But what is clear is that the ACA is heavily entrenched. Should Democrats take a win in ACA being extended but suffer the loss of the extended subsidy implemented in 2021 being not extended, the ones hardest by the expiration of that added 2021 subsidy will be that vital voting block of over 60 year olds. Its campy data as the 45-60K bracket isn't there (probably because it doesn't say what the news cycle wants it to say, assumption).

But as a participant myself, I hardly see a cost of an extra $100-200 per year as anything to worry about, given my grocery bill each month has climbed that.

Take it for what it is.

Yah know it's funny. Every time i hear the phrase "social distancing" I'm overcome with the overwhelming desire to deck Nancy Pelosi in the face.

I regularly heckle my local news media on twitter when they put out new clickbait about "health tip!" about "OH YEAH LIKE HOW YOU SWORE ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING AND FACE MASKS? STILL LYING ABOUT THOSE? WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE LISTEN TO YOU""

But none of any of that matters if your decision making can be summed up as: Oh shit, I can afford a 3 times more expensive house that I don't need if I take out the 50 year instead of the 30.

I've been dicking around with some Mortgage calculators and according to those the difference in monthly payments between 50 year loans and 30 per month is effectively negligible.

20 Extra years of Interest is a bitch LMAO
 
Dad can I have a 30 year Mortgage?

A 50 year Mortgage what do you need a 50 year mortgage for?

I can't believe my own son would ask me for a 75 year mortgage!

Help police! A madman is trying to kill me over a 100 year mortgage!

You'll be hearing from my lawyer over that 150 year mortgage you owe me!
 
There's a dark comedy aspect to the mortgage decades stretching out ever further even as we're always told that life expectancy is beginning to decrease.

This is good, reward your voters with money that already exists so no inflation and it makes SCOTUS look like mega faggots if they rule against Trump and say tariff revenue needs to be returned. I just want to see Roberts say "yeah I said Obamacare is a tax so it's ok but Tariffs aren't a tax and they're not ok, give me my brain medication!"

Oh, $2,000 for 300 million Americans is 600 billion. No inflation! And pay down the 37,000 billion. Soon…soon…call me a skeptic but I think he is in la la
Land.

Inflation is a reaction to either; fewer goods, more money, or higher demand. if he prints the money then there will be inflation. If he takes money from the tariffs and redirects it to somewhere else then there wouldn't be inflation. Paying off the debt would be stupid. It would destroy the economy.
