    Not that it’ll ever actually happen but it’s hilarious to specifically give money to the generation least affected by the modern economy. Cheap real estate, tax law changes disproportionately benefitting them, and now cheaper (lol, barely) healthcare. Why not. Boomers are the last generation who deserve anything anyway

    Goddamn imagine how stupid you’d have to be to be a conservative.

    Like, less cognitive function than at least half of the species in the animal kingdom.

    I trust my sock more than I’d ever trust a conservative. At least socks aren’t violently stupid.

    The billionaire class is trolling us. $100??? They know the average American is hurting and even $100 sounds good.

    Fucking pathetic.

    to help cover Medicare Part B premiums

    Oh good, throw more money at America’s failing healthcare system. That’ll solve it

    Promises $100 in the post to make up for rising costs…

    According to a White House fact sheet, the administration planned to begin issuing one-time $90 payments to more than 20 million Medicare Part B enrollees in early October.

    Meanwhile, the standard Medicare Part B premium had risen to $202.90 per month in 2026.

    Actual plan is $90 and a single premium is over $200…

    Less than half the cost of a single visit

    That will make all the difference to those that are one generation from $1 equaling $100 to now $100 equaling $1. Thanks Dump, you’ve saved us all and take my vote.
