"Anyone making more than 700 percent of the federal poverty line would no longer be eligible for the subsidies."
THIS was the caveat?? The poverty line is $30,000 for a family of four. 700% is $260,000! In one of the most expensive states to live in, Washington, that's TOO high!

Poor Trump. He just can't handle the idea that he's getting old. That women won't want him anymore for his bod (I doubt they ever did). And that death is far closer to him now than his youth.
Welcome to reality, Trump.
Oh, that's right, he still lives in a fantasy.

Seattle residents need to make over $135,00 a year to live a comfortable lifestyle, making our city the 6th most expensive in the nation. We need to bring down everyday costs, including rent, groceries, and energy to combat an unaffordable community.

Median US households (income $80K) are in poverty if the same calculations as in 1963 are used to rebase the poverty line threshold.
Median US households (income $80K) are in poverty if the same calculations as in 1963 are used to rebase the poverty line threshold.
Why the USA is stressed: in 1963, poverty was defined as family income < 3x food budget. But costs have exploded since 1963, and food is now 5-7% of a budget including health, college, childcare, housing, etc—a realistic food budget multiplier for poverty is 16x, so families under $130K are poor.

FUN FACT: A total of 25 Republicans in the House are already planning to retire or resign, compared to only 16 Democrats (not including Mikie Sherrill, recently elected governor of NJ). The number of GOP resignations are expected to increase further over the coming months.

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."
