GOP Plows Ahead With Budget That Would Slash Medicaid, Food Benefits for Millions | Common Dreams

"In this bill, Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud: Billionaires, big companies, and special interests not only deserve a tax break, but that it should be paid for by everyday Americans."

Summary

House Republicans advanced a budget resolution that would impose deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP while extending tax breaks for the wealthy.

Analysts warn the proposal could strip benefits from 36 million Medicaid recipients and 9 million low-income people receiving food assistance.

Critics argue the plan worsens poverty and economic inequality, benefiting the top 1% while hurting working families.

Despite public opposition, the GOP is pushing the measure forward as part of Donald Trump’s legislative agenda, facing resistance from Democrats and Senate Republicans.

    Oh, and raise almost everyone’s taxes a significant amount, unless you make like 300k a year. I still find it bananas they look at someone making 20k a year and are like “yeah but they can give us another 1k” as they take their benefits.
