Summary

A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.

Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.

Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.

This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.

    They didn’t think their social services would be cut. They were told that undocumented people were bleeding the system dry, and there would be plenty to go around once they were removed. A blatant lie that conservative media and social-network bots repeated endlessly; instead of the truth that, in fact, social services would be cut to pay for high-income tax cuts.

      This. I’d rather blame the lying billionaires than some Joe Shmoe that doesn’t have the capability to defend himself against the constant barrage of propaganda.

      Division is part of their plan, and they want you to be angry at Joe the sucker, not them.

        We already had 4 years of this crap and knew what they were about. I absolutely blame every uneducated chuckle fuck that voted for this. They can fuck all the way off. If they are family members, they deserve excommunication. They ca enjoy jerking off to Fox News alone.
