Glad you're finally concerned about West Virginia and Mississippi.

 

Who knew!

Rural places exist in blue states too 😉

 

 

Glad you’re acknowledging this is a horrific budget that will cause mass harm for the poor.

The budget is actually irrelevant based on what Trump and Musk are doing.

Not really given that the budget increases the deficit and DOGE is resorting to begging people to “report” stuff

No, the GOP Isn't Cutting Your Social Security and Medicare

Paula Bolyard

 

Think back to 2012 with me: the Tea Party was roaring across the country. Americans were carrying around pocket Constitutions and demanding spending cuts. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was touting the GOP "Path to Prosperity." 

 

And Democrats pounced.

A left-wing group, the Agenda Project Action Fund, aired an ad showing a character representing Ryan pushing Grandma off the cliff. 

 

The Left wailed and writhed, claiming that Republicans were trying to "end Medicare as we know it" and destroy Social Security. 

 

Fast-forward 15 years, and Democrats are at it again, claiming falsely that the House's 2025 budget resolution will end entitlements. A left-wing group called Social Security Works has been at the forefront of the fear-mongering, claiming on X that the GOP budget would cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The group—created "to elect leaders who will expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid"—posted this nonsense over the weekend: 

Newsflash: Cutting waste, fraud, and abuse isn't taking money out of the pockets of senior citizens or anyone else. 

 

Nor is it slashing Medicare or Medicaid benefits. Here's what the budget reconciliation does do, according to the House Budget Committee: 

• Provide tax relief for working families and small businesses; 
• Reverse the Biden-Harris administration’s whole of government assault on domestic energy;
• Rein-in reckless spending that lit the fuse on inflation; 
• Give the Trump-Vance administration the critical resources they need to secure our border and strengthen our national security.

the budget passed last night cuts $880 billion from medicaid.  if not from benefits, where is it coming from?

Nearly half of the spending cuts — $880 billion — would come from programs under the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicaid, Obamacare and other health programs.

The budget sets targets for spending reductions but does not specify the cuts. Republican leaders have supported Medicaid work requirements and cracking down on improper payments, but those moves would not generate the required savings, making swing-district Republicans nervous about cuts to benefits and payments to providers.

Glad you're so into the details. Either you're planning to send Congress a sternly worded email, or you're self-owning on a daily basis. Either way, have fun with it!
