House GOP unveils budget with trillions in cuts to Medicaid, food benefits, and more

[justaprogressive]

House Republicans unveiled a budget blueprint on Tuesday that proposes trillions of dollars in federal spending reductions over the next decade, specifically targeting Medicaid and federal nutrition assistance for steep cuts.

House Budget Committee Republicans' new resolution also calls for the establishment of a "bipartisan debt commission" to examine and propose changes to "the drivers of U.S. debt... such as Social Security and Medicare." (Social Security does not, in fact, contribute to long-term federal deficits.)

"MAGA Republicans are driving our nation towards a costly government shutdown because they want to make cruel cuts to everything from healthcare to education, and this MAGA Budget doubles down on their extreme cuts," Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said in response to the new proposal.

"Make no mistake: America is barreling towards a government shutdown because Republicans reneged on the bipartisan budget agreement in their thirst for cruel budget cuts—cuts which will raise the cost of living when it's already too high," Boyle added.

4. Here's a quote that needs to go viral:

“Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.” Joe Biden

I once asked a right-wing relative, "What's the use of a national defense budget if you don't take care of your people?" & his response was that people should take care of themselves & I asked, "Like the corporations take care of themselves?" Crickets.

Also, let's talk about the two trillion dollar tax cut to the rich. Of all the things Trump promised when he was in office, a wall, the repeal of Obamacare, when he had both chambers what was his first article of business? Tax cuts for the wealthy.

Stupid suckers never got their wall, they're stuck with Obamacare, & their tax cuts expire, but they still vote republican.

9. Republicans love inflicting cruelty on the most vulnerable.

10. the ads should write themselves...

hammer the living shit out of them...

[Aristus]

11. And how many Republican-supporting voters are going to approve of this?

All of them? Because they think the cuts won't include them?

Who was that paralyzingly stupid hillbilly hag who voted for her local Republican and then complained when her state Medicaid was cut, just like the Rep promised it would be? When confronted with her feckless voting choice, she hung her head and said: "I guess I just always vote Republican..."

14. Reminds me of my all time favorite protest sign.

Keep your government out of my Medicare.

That one should be enshrined in the history books.

[republianmushroom]

12. And the goobers still vote republican. Dumb and dumber.

13. Sounds like a winning platform. NOT!

15. What are they going to with the trillions saved?

Maybe some actual reporter/journalist can ask one of them that question?
