June 28

12:54 Why popes' caps look so much like lotus petals? And the Christ on pope's stick reminds of a crossbow

 2:13 Psihologie inversă la Budapesta. Au organizat acest miting ca să-i dea alură lui Orban.

2:30 Un scandal cu alt scandal. În fundal se vede conturul capișonului papei de mai sus. Ceea ce-mi amintește de altă coincidență. Este un eveniment de gustare de vinuri în fața cazinoului.

11:50 Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is nothing but a continuation of previous fiscal policies with some minor changes. 793 billion reduction in Medicaid spending over then next 10 years means about 80 billions or about 10% a year.

Don't know much and don't care about but i know the Medicare chapter is a total fraud. If we divide the total amount for 2025 of 942 billions by 65 million recipients we get 14492 a year per recipient or 1207 a month. The recipients also pay out of pocket 180 and deductibles.

These amounts would be enough to buy some of the most expensive insurances on the market. However everybody knows that Medicare slashes bills to about 25% so there are very few doctors that would accept them and also has no dental and prescriptions.

To me it looks more like a very cheap insurance, paid mostly by recipients with that 180 dollars a month and deductibles. So almost one trillion dollars out of 7 unaccounted for only from here.

Bigger mystery with Medicare Advantage plans, some sort of midlemen, who give you prescriptions if  you have Medicare but slash the bills even more.

It is said Medicaid provides insurance for about 70 million people with low income. Again if we divide the amount of 720 billion for 2025 to 70 million recipients we get more than 10000 a  year which i don't think is the case. It is true that Medicaid paid almost 10000 dollars per recipient last year but part of it was founded by states. So another 300 billion missing here.

8:00 Se pare că singura opoziție la Orban in Ungaria e LGBTQ.

2:52 PM 900 pages, three senators of 53 initially said no bringing the vote to a Trump tie, Vance had the tie beraking vote, 900 pages massive bill that took 16 hours to read, all the drama, but in the end it's really only one issue and that is decrease by about 10% of the Medicaid spending and Thomas Tillis, others were not against the true issue which is only an accounting one. The budget contains simple mathematical errors (numbers don't add up, see above).
