Summary

House Republicans are considering $5.7 trillion in federal spending cuts over 10 years, including reductions to Medicaid, food assistance, and clean energy subsidies, according to a Politico report.

Proposed Medicaid changes, like ending Affordable Care Act expansions and introducing block grants, could leave millions uninsured.

Food aid cuts could impact tens of millions, while reduced clean energy subsidies risk job losses.

Democrats strongly oppose the proposals, citing harm to families and job sectors, while GOP leaders face internal challenges passing such measures with a narrow House majority.

    Why? We pay for Medicaid. It’s not like this is from the general fund. So, what they want to do is steal that money you paid for Medicaid and pay for their other bullshit priorities like mass deportation or more tax cuts for rich people.

      This is for Medicaid not Medicare.

      • Medicaid = covers poor people
      • Medicare = covers old people

      So this is the “How can we fuck poor people even harder” act.
