"In this bill, Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud: Billionaires, big companies, and special interests not only deserve a tax break, but that it should be paid for by everyday Americans."

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”.

      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.
