Bella's Lullaby - Carter Burwell

5 Points On How The New O’Care Repeal CBO Score Squeezes The Senate – Talking Points Memo

This is a joke: "That downward tick in coverage losses comes in part, the CBO said, because the individual marketplace will be less attractive and more employers will thus continue to offer coverage than was projected in the March version of the legislation..."
Why?
Because the Republican's AHCA 2.0 scheme repeals the mandatory requirement for corporations to have healthcare coverage for their employees. Nor is there adequate tax credits being offered through AHCA which will make corporations unload their plans and force their employees into the private healthcare markets or, what's left, healthcare exchanges.
Even this report states that a significant number of corporations would jettison their healthcare plans. Even if only 10 percent of corporations drop employee coverage that would translate into 15,500,000 people who would have to find coverage in the private market. Corporate health care cover's 155,000,000 people.

Trump's 2018 Budget Request Axes 5 NASA Earth-Science Missions

How many billions of dollars in damages will incur because of this short sighted anti climate change hysteria will Americans be prepared to pay for due to Trump and his administration?  For Trump and Tea Party zealot Mulvaney it's great to "save" 191 million dollars but down the road to pay billions in weather related damages and needless human death.

Reports: Trump Told Duterte US Has Two Nuclear Subs Near Korean Peninsula – Talking Points Memo

Trump=national security risk.  He is willing to brag to strong men and dictators about our defense and intelligence assets as well as breaking up the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization.



BTW- What that means in his zero sum game of "America First" is that the world will view it as "America Alone".   For example, the dangerous to the human race abdication of leading the race to ameliorate anthropocentric climate change there is the real chance that Trump will "lead" America into a shunned nation.  A nation that is not at the technological leading edge which powers our economy.  Without the scientific, technological and industrial know how no nation will buy our products that are not energy efficient and carbon polluting.
