Trump allies circulate deportation plans calling for 'processing camps'
- sleepyguy 2y agoThis entire proposal is so Prince et al, can get in the action and make billions. What is happening now, is the fleecing of America and the folks in power are there to extract as much wealth as they can in the next 4 years. Most of everything going on is a sideshow to keep everyone's attention off the real story, New World Order....
- cempaka 2y agoAll it took to get the Alex Jones set to line up behind building domestic camps was to promise they were for migrants only.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoCan anyone tell me of any other time in history where that promise has been made then broken?

- jfengel 2y agoMaybe. But I wouldn't count those political chickens before they hatch. Health insurance is a funny thing. Most people, most of the time, don't really use it. You can't even really be sure you have it. People only find out about the limitations of their insurance when it's too late. There is a very old joke that a Democrat is a Republican who got sick. If they don't happen to already be sick, or become sick soon, this could work for them. So you could wipe out Medicaid entirely, and tens of millions of enrollees would say "Eh, turns out it's not so bad". Millions would of course suffer greatly, but many of them weren't going to vote for you anyway. And on the plus side, hundreds of millions not enrolled in Medicaid would say, "Hey, lookit the deficit go down!" Some would even get a tax break (though the ones most likely to get a tax break are already voting Republican). That's if you eliminated it. "Gutting" it would shift more people from the former category to the latter. They would get enough Medicaid between now and 2028, and that's all that's needed. There's certainly a risk that it won't be seen that way, but it could well be a risk worth taking. If they can get Republicans in Congress to unite on some variant of this, they can make a big slash in the budget without losing control.
