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.

    Ah yes. Denying me food and medical coverage will clearly help with my disability.

    Make sure to give that money to the ultra wealthy as a bonus for destroying the planet

      At this point I can only say “if each of us take a few with us before we go the world might end up better some day.”
