Medicaid & SNAP Are On Speaker Johnson"s Cutting Block

Hurt the poorest of the poor first to get money for billionaires.

The red states will suffer the most because they need that federal money for Medicaid and SNAP. The blue states will also be hurt but they can manage around this.

I would bet my golf clubs that the majority of Medicaid and SNAP benefits goes to red states.

Cruelty is a feature of Project 2025 not a bug.

be eating cat food. Isn't that partly why they started it in the first place? If they cut Medicaid I would bet medical costs rise, because people will be forced to use emergency rooms as their primary care. Unbelievable.

11. Some article I read said 40% of births in Red States are paid by Medicare, same states driving new births.

More kids, less funding for births and a delayed fuck with 14 years of school taxes per kid.

All being forced onto the Red States since they won't be getting that socialist money from the DOE. State and local school taxes will explode.

15. I wonder how much is the average annual benefits

for a family of 4.

Let me use $4,000.00 a year just for now.

Now go to the billionaire with $4,000.00 and ask him what he would do with the cash.

I don't think any of us would like the answer.

The $4,000 means very little to the wealthy, but it is food and health to the family.
