TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump’s government sponsored programs are directly harmful to Americans. PFAS chemicals are now known to cause bone density loss in kids. Why are we deporting immigrants already working in the medical profession and issuing new H1-B visas? Why is RFK,Jr cancelling access to vitally needed Vaccines but paying for research on rare cancers that are treated by Vaccines? These policies make no sense and benefit a limited group? Why is the VA not offering enough mental healthcare to soldiers injured in combat? Also, it’s not Medicare procedures jacking up our premiums, it’s the “middle man “ and insurance! RFK, Jr’s HHS has interfered in our healthcare to our detriment.

TheVoiceOfJoyce If you want to understand some of the many reasons Trump entered this War. It was about money , from the Petrostates and Saudi Arabia in particular.

TheVoiceOfJoyce When Trump wants to escape news at homes, especially The Epstein Files,he starts a War. Killing 157 in the Caribbean wasn’t enough, so he targeted Iran. Are we degrading their nuclear weapons? Missiles? And stopping their proxies? When will our air campaign be sufficient? When will the Straits of Hormuz open to all and stop benefiting Russia. We’re giving Russia an economic lifeline to pursue his Ukraine War and help the Russian economy, while the American people suffer with high gas prices at the pump. What’s our end strategy?

TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder the Department of Defense is no longer nimble and innovative. It’s bloated by self enrichment and has 5 major contractors, Trump donors and Jared Kushner making a fortune off our new Middle Eastern allies. Meanwhile, defense is spending millions on luxuries and over $1Billion a day/conservative estimate. Who else is profiting from Trump’s War? The oil companies who gave Trump a Billion and Trump’s best Bud, Putin, made $6.9 Billion in a week? While Government decides to hold back all Medicaid funding for Minnesota?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Wake up Congress, most Americans don’t want ICE. We certainly don’t want an increase in funding.

TheVoiceOfJoyce What’s to like about Trump’s Agenda. His tariffs are taxing the poor and middle classes. In one year, manufacturing jobs have decreased. Wages are low and affordability is high due to tariffs. There are 68,000 manufacturing jobs. Trump’s economic model does not create jobs for the lower and middle classes. This is an economy designed to reward the wealthy. No more tax cuts for the wealthy. We all want to work and thrive.
