№ 856: Repeal And Displace Revisited

DUCK AND (NON-)COVERAGE (May 13) —
Under TRUMPCARE^®  your coverage depends

entirely upon how much you spend —

your contribution to the economy.

If it's too little, you forfeit autonomy

and can be used in any experiment

for which we need chimpanzees.
If you survive you may well benefit
from acquired immunity to new diseases.

TRUMPCARE^® will advance the health of the nation
while it reduces surplus population.
Please rest assured, whatever occurs,
it will never cure chronic bone spurs.

US Federal Reserve makes emergency interest rate cut

Central bank moves to protect economy from coronavirus outbreak

The US Federal Reserve has slashed interest rates in an emergency move to protect the world’s largest economy from the coronavirus outbreak, ramping up the global response as the disease spreads.

Launching the emergency measure as a pre-emptive strike to protect the US economy after pressure from Donald Trump to act . . . .

Jerome Powell, its chair, said: “Of course the ultimate solutions to this challenge will come from others, particularly health professionals. We can and will do our part, however, to keep the US economy strong as we meet this challenge.”

As the economic costs mount in a pivotal US election year, Trump said the Fed had not cut rates enough and should go further. Powell insisted the emergency move was not in response to the president’s pressure. “We are never going to consider any political considerations whatsoever,” he said.

№ 487.1: etc EXTRA! Obamacare Repeal (Finally?)

WSJ: Federal Judge Rules Affordable Care Act Is Unconstitutional Without Insurance-Coverage Penalty

The ruling injects uncertainty into the health-care coverage of millions 😄

As reported in The Daily Dog on Friday, July 21, 2017: 
CXIV: Health Insurance (the GOP view)

What IS the bother? Why all this FUSS?
The uninsured do not vote for us!
They are not our concern. Why should we cry?
It is so much simpler to just watch them die.

No. CXLVI: How I, Donald J. Trump, Do Bidness (labored thoughts)

Up 'til now if things turned fraught
on question of who sold who bought
I'd retort I will see you in court
and if anyone called my bluff
I would reply I will not take this guff
and promptly haughtily leave in a huff

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
again I threaten fire and fury
watch it "dear Kim" or you'll be sorry*
better take heed better believe me
you push me I'll do a new bankruptcy
and break your pal Xi then where will you be

I will do whatever I hafta
end trade with the South get outta NAFTA
court all sort of nat'ral disasta
Did not I end Obamacare
Am not I graceful as Fred Astaire
Do not I have a head full of hair

I am making America grate
(spelling never was a strong trait)
if only I could re-rescue Kuwait
Maybe my program does not make sense
I called for a wall and can't build a fence
even I'm looking forward to President Pence

I can't really deal with dead traitors on horses
what I have a feel for is building golf courses
(and marriage and dating between divorces)
I told you all I was no politician
let this then serve as an act of contrition
relax everyone unassume the position


When I began this I had no design
and not to make the point all too fine
I've had it enough I quit I resign
