“House Republicans have ignored the demands of their constituents and instead chosen to side with their billionaire donors.”
they don’t actually care about this country or its people at all. they’d rather let russian oligarchs be citizens and fuck shit up worse than it already has been than take care of the people who’ve made families and generations here.
Pulling billions of dollars out of the health care industry in order to stick it into… what even is this money going to go into? AI and Crypto? Treasury bonds? Untaxable oversees S&Ls?
Its painful to watch not only because of the obvious inherent cruelty, but because of the painful shortsightedness. Gutting the funding for hospitals and clinics in low-income areas won’t benefit anyone materially. Hell, we’ve got a privatized health care system. It won’t even benefit rich people, given how regularly they profiteer of Medicaid on the back end.
Pain fuels the grievance politic their strategy is premised upon.
I work for a major healthcare company and they definitely bid for Medicare and Medicaid contracts. When states reset Medicaid and people had to re-apply, loads of people were laid off at my company. Now I’m afraid that whole departments will get the can. I’ve always said that I would be happy to lose my job if it meant that everyone could get healthcare. But apparently I’m about to lose my job and no one will get healthcare except the rich :/
$880 billion in Medicaid cuts and $230 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
That’s going to kill people, but Elon Musk’ϟ tax bill will go down.
