Is there a timeline for BBB hurt on middle class to begin?
Many of the hurtful items for the BBB MAGA postponed like the full effects of the tariffs.
Anyone know when the shit really starts to hit the fan for the middle class?
I know that Medicare work reqs start soon after midterms.
Thx in advance

Your country is America, and it will do just that.

(1,977 posts)I imagine a lot of state officials are not having a very fun 4th since in upcoming weeks they will be studying the bill to find ways to work around the language if possible, raise more money, or transition people off benefits in a kinder way.
As people, communities, businesses and states start to crack republicans may try to patch things here and there but it will be an amalgamated mess (like the contiguous state exception I think Alaska got) since they only care about money not people. The republicans dont believe government works, then get elected and prove it.
The mandated balanced budget requirements of the states are going to require hard choices. I only hope some of the language is amenable to interpretation (sure) or maybe it is possible to sue the government for some legal infraction.

(9,149 posts)a woman who has a disabled mother under 65 who has been in a nursing home for years under Medicaid and SSI. She has received a notice from the Feds saying they have determined she is capable of working and she must now re-qualify for benefits which can be expected to take a long while given all of the staff cuts. I had mentioned this kind of tactic several times over the last months because it's what insurance companies are known to do to people on long term disability. They end your benefits claiming you can work and then put you through a long administrative process of demanding medical records, exams etc. and then they still deny you and make you go through a lengthy appeals process which can be years all together.
