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.

We've been saying that the cruelty is the point, but damn.
 
Anyone who thinks this bill will be easy to pass is at best naive.
 
Hey, working and middle class Republicans. You voted for this shit.
 
When did Medicaid become the new normal? Is this just a version of Obamacare for those who refuse to work for a living? It's time to raise expectations and start asking a bit more from our fellow man.

Yes, put the babies to work!

Let me guess, you are in favor of forcing poor women to carry through with unwanted pregnancies.

Then he should ask Elon & tRump why they didn't take care of the corruption in govt that allowed those things to happen.
