President Donald Trump will propose slashing the budget for Medicaid by more than $800 billion over 10 years in a budget set to be released Tuesday, according to several reports published Sunday evening.
Trump’s proposed cuts were first reported by the Washington Post and later confirmed by CNN and the Associated Press.
The President’s forthcoming proposal comes after he pledged on the campaign trail not to touch social safety net programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
In addition to the major budget cuts to Medicaid, the White House will also push for states to have more flexibility when it comes to imposing work requirements for Americans seeking assistance, per the Washington Post.
Trump’s budget proposal will also call for a $193 billion cut for food stamps over the next ten years, according to the Associated Press.
This is all part of the plan making America great again folks. I guess it’s us regular folks that is destroying America in his mind with being poor and needing Medicare and Medicaid.
Of course, the MSM will report on this and will inevitably interview some schmuck who supported him. Said schmuck will state their shock and disappointment in Trump with the line, that “he promised” and “I believed him.”
Then I’ll need to buy another television.
“Sir, shit isn’t fucked up enough yet! The liberal-negro-gay-muslim-mexican alliance is still alive!”
"You sad, pathetic losers! Destroy faster, assholes! Make it Bigly!
If the Republicans kill off all the poor people, who’s gonna be left for them to spit on and kick around?
Or the stenographers in the GOP 24/7 Bullshit Machine will talk to Berniebots and Jill Shills who will keep saying “Hillary would have been worse”…
