Republicans Get Ready to Kill Budget Bill for Not Being Cruel Enough
That doesn't sound too encouraging especially if you are a poor republican living in a poor red state.
House Republicans are already opposing House Speaker Mike Johnson’s budget proposal stripping health care coverage from millions of Americans—but not for the reason you think.
Texas Representative Chip Roy was outraged Monday by the House Republicans’ new budget proposal, which included $880 million in cuts largely to Medicaid, not because they were too big, but because they weren’t big enough.
“I sure hope House & Senate leadership are coming up with a backup plan…. ….. because I’m not here to rack up an additional $20 trillion in debt over 10 years or to subsidize healthy, able-bodied adults, corrupt blue states, and monopoly hospital ceos…” he wrote on X. Roy is policy chair of the House Freedom Caucus, which has been vocal in advocating massive cuts.
How many times and in how many different ways does the GOP leadership need to show their base they are more than willing to crap all over them so the rich can have more. Taking from the least to give to those who have the most. What a way to run a country.
This is what happens when you give people with bad intentions power. Eventually they eat their own.

Some Republican lawmakers are already in revolt over the proposed Medicaid cuts.
