House Republicans have released their budget plan, and in order to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy, they are planning to slash funding for Medicaid and food stamps.

Whoops! Hope none of those Felon voters are on Medicaid, food stamps or any benefits from any agency directly or indirectly related to government resources! Guess someone should explain to them buyer’s remorse has zero monetary value at this point!
Tax breaks for the excessively wealthy on the backs of lifesaving food & health-care to those who don't have the means.
Peak ambivalence "let them eat cake" moment.
We should start a pool to see what will finally be their “let them eat cake” moment that finally breaks the country. My box is on this or Social Security.
i wish we could remove the income cap to qualify for Medicaid! it keeps generations of families in poverty. people don’t want to get a minimum wage job because they will make too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to survive off of.
Our masters get a tax cut while we get less food and worse healthcare.
This is capitalism.
It's a constant battle. Us vs Them. Human Prosperity vs Greed. You getting healthcare, food, and more time with your children vs billionaires getting another private jet. Know your real enemy.
Shame, shame, shame on the heartless and cold Repub party's treatment of the poor in America. God will never bless this mess. A curse will be upon the United States 😕👎🏾
Deuteronomy 15:11 - 'Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land'.
Considering the tax cuts are even deeper than the budget cuts seems they're just driving more and more deficit spending onto the national debt that they continually say is a major problem but continue to make it worse and worse with each incoming administration.
Yeah, it's obvious they don't care about the deficit. Just the billionaire tax cuts to starve the government to make sure it can't take care of its people.
I've never watched the Handmaid's Tale, but there was a post showing where women revolt against men. It's about time we did to republicans what was done in that scene. Let's rise up and cut them where it hurts the most.
And still increasing the deficit to $4trlllion. SMH. The goals of DOGE and the GOP are to loot the US and send the money to Musk and the other billionaires.
How many Trump voters are on Medicaid and food stamps? I think the lies and misinformation become apparent if we repeat the story over and over and over again. Inflation increasing?? Starving children dying?? Benefits cut to his voters... so that he can extend tax cuts for Elon, et al.
WTYS!
i am a social worker, i do case management for older adults on Medicaid. i do home visits and the amount of trump signs i see in my client’s yards is comical. i wish i could tell them off and how they are only voting against their own interests.
These large companies have been subsidized by Medicaid and food stamps by underpaying their workers who must then use these programs to survive while working 2 jobs. Now they want more tax cuts? WTF! 🤬 Corporations are the “welfare moms”.
Not seeing the point of a continuing resolution when dotard will just continue to impound the funds. But I'm sure Schumer will reach across the aisle to let people die.
That s right there Moses sucker punch the most vulnerable to give your masters what they want. You ll be assured to go down in history as a member of the Evil Axios club.
I know what should be 🔪'd and it's not funding for Medicaid and food stamps.
No, I'm not suggesting slashing them, 🤔, um, ya, no, no, 🤔 OK no. Slash their fucking salaries. Put them all on minimum fucking wage, let's start there. No overtime pay either & no free healthcare or free lunch!
The problem isn't overeating, per se. It's the fact that junk and convenience food is cheaper and more readily available than healthy food. When a bag of frozen chicken nuggets costs less than buying a fresh chicken & when a gallon of milk costs more than 4 litres of pop, you know there's a problem.
We bought virtually all our food at the grocery store, and my mother did all the buying...and she had absolutely no qualms at telling me and my brother no.
Was it a budgetary concern?...yes.
With food being cheaper and more widely available, the only recourse is better parenting, IMO.
Yet, there are going to parents today, right now, telling their kids that Trump and/or the Republicans are preventing them from the best parents ever...
Meet these swine half way. Cut all programs according to which senators vote for or against the cuts. Fourth Class States (like WV) get absolutely NOTHING. First Class States retain their benefits.

The Repub party are no 'conservatives' or Christian. They are demonic at heart with dark souls 😈

Where in scripture does it say to hurt those with the least among us?

I truly hope karma is a bitch and bites you right in the ass.

Cut food stamps?...when 80% of kids are becoming clinically obese...that is an overeating problem.
How to ensure the kids who are going without, do get a meal, without overfeeding the others...any suggestions?
Food availability was more limited back then...there were 0 drive thru fast food places, and only 1 convenience store that offered snacks.
Was it a budgetary concern?...yes.

Just saying...
