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.

      Not gonna happen. I’m in a deep red area and the basic sentiment is that it’s okay as long as he “saves this country”.

          Well, yes…but they will direct that anger at the wrong places rather than accept they made a mistake

          I live around em too. And all the Cheeto has to do is give them someone else to blame for their hardships, and it’ll work

          Towards the end of WW2 when Germany was in shambles he still had supporters who fanatically stood by the mustache man.

          Will there be pockets of angry people? Sure.

          But many will just be angry at whoever Trump tells them to be angry at

        What are the metrics they are judging this salvation by if not personal financial gain? I was under the impression this was the primary motivation for their support of him.

          Ownage of the libs by taking away what the libs wanted, which was to help… people like them. So the more they punch themselves in the face, the more they own the woke libs, and the better job trump is doing. See?
