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.

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.

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.
