GOP zielt auf Medicaid- und SNAP-Leistungen ab, um „Steuersenkungen für ihre milliardenschweren Spender zu bezahlen“

How did everybody think those tax cut were gonna happen?

This is similar economic policy to slavery.

With slavery, a portion of the population is essentially removed from the economy, yet provide that economy. That’s a whole bunch of people not buying/selling/owning goods and actually hamstrings a sound economy. Cheap labor doesn’t add to profit at all in this scenario.

Similar to removing foundational healthcare for people who can’t afford $500 Advil from the hospital or food for that matter because they are not paid enough.

SNAP/Medicare/other social nets are money from taxes that go directly into the economy, which is taxed, and the goods/services are taxed.

Removing this is shooting yourself in the foot.

The profit of decay is the decay of profit. The more people you lose, the more potential you lose, the more potential you lose the less kinetic your economy, entertainment, goods/services, everything.

They already have money and they want to steal even more from people. How many more palaces, sports cars and yachts do they need until they are satisfied? 

Nothing like screwing farmers out of a subsidy while threatening tariffs on the fertilizer and equipment they need to farm. Nothing like more farm consolidation mixed with an appointed guy that hauled around a rotting whale skull and wants to throw antidepressant users and drug abusers on farms, where they can grow organic produce.

We’re about to witness the return of slavery with vengeance aren’t we…

So business as usual whenever the GOP is in power.

BREAKING: DOGE has determined SNAP, WIC, TANF, LIHEAP, SSI, Medicaid, CHIP, EITC, Meals on Wheels, to all be terribly inefficient.

In unrelated news, DOGE has determined the most efficient way to construct the Donald Trump Luna Space Force Space Base and Gift Shop is to award a no-bid contract to SpaceX.

Now hold on. I was told that I should vote for republicans because big government Democrats only increase spending and waste our tax dollars, and that republicans bring smaller government that reduces spending on wasteful social programs so we can use that money in better ways.

Are you telling me that that was bullshit and the money from social programs actually just goes directly back into the bank accounts of the people who already have the most money?

If you’re going to deport millions of people that do the jobs nobody else is willing to do, then you have to create an economic underclass where refusal is not an option.

Rob from the poor to give to the rich. GOP platform.

The homeless surge that will happen from this will happen everywhere but especially large metropolitan cities which tend to be Democratic, and they’ll just blame this problem on Democrats as they look at carpet samples for their third yacht.

The title says it all: tax cuts for the ultra-rich, paid for by slashing programs that help struggling families. This is the GOP’s playbook in its purest form—hand billionaires another windfall while ripping away basic support systems from the most vulnerable.

Cutting Medicaid and SNAP doesn’t just hurt the poor—it destabilizes entire communities. These programs keep people housed, fed, and healthy, ensuring kids can focus in school and workers can show up to their jobs. Gutting them doesn’t “promote fiscal responsibility”; it throws millions into chaos, just to bankroll tax breaks for people who already have more money than they could ever spend.

And let’s not pretend this is about balancing budgets. If it were, those tax cuts wouldn’t even be on the table. This is about consolidating power and wealth at the very top, leaving the rest of us to fight over scraps. It’s immoral, it’s shortsighted, and it’s everything wrong with trickle-down economics.

They already did new work requirements last year last time they had the debt ceiling issue. It’s never enough for it, is it. If you’re a working person reading this headline and thinking it sounds like a good thing, just know all they are doing is adding more complications to getting assistance for people in need, and one day that person in need could be you.

Dems just need to go all-in on anti-billionaire messaging. Day and night. Frame it as workers vs. Billionaires. Occupy Sall Street levels. 

Harris did this, of course, but it needs to be the only message, the main message, just repeated nonstop. Frame it as open class warfare.

Work requirements for Medicaid are the stupidest idea. Barring a disability, you practically can’t get Medicaid if you *do* work. A full time minimum wage worker in my county doesn’t qualify. 29 hours/week at minimum wage doesn’t either. It would be a program almost exclusively for people with kids.

And there it is

You depend Medicaid but voted for Trump?

Oh no.

Let me guess – it’s Biden’s fault?

Both young parents and old folks on their last days, both voted away their livelihoods. Want to know what it’s like to die broke and alone? You’re about to find out. I hope that vote was worth it because you reap what you sow. Everyone told you otherwise, tried to save you from yourself, but you just wouldn’t listen. Most of us are done talking now. All we can do now is sit back with some popcorn and watch it all play out as expected. And yes, it will be horrific, every…single…moment. But like any train wreck, it’s just too hard to look away as it happens, and we’re equally powerless to help just the same. It’s now off the tracks, and none of us can do a damn thing.

You mean the soc sec and medicare that I have been paid into for 40 years before retiring?

Expect a lot of self deletion to occur if this happens . A lot of people struggle with mental health rely on snap and Medicaid to positively function. Cutting Medicaid is essential a death sentence just because coming off meds will bring instability.

My job is SNAP and Medicaid outreach for my local county. If federal funding gets cut, I find it hard to see a world where my job still exists and I have been constantly losing sleep over it.

And this is how you get food riots…

That’s ok, the ‘Poor’ babies can starve. As if they where paying for it.
Elections have consequences but that’s some cold shit
