Trump is terrorizing immigrants to prepare to steal your Medicare
This week, while the backlash against Trump’s baby jails occupied the news, the Republicans in the House Budget Committee voted on a plan that clarifies what they’d do if they keep the House in November and add a few seats in the Senate.
House Republicans want to cut $2 trillion from Medicaid and Medicare, while ending Medicare as we know by turning it into the voucher program Paul Ryan has long pimped.
The resolution would also allow this Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut $300 billion from federal programs with 50 votes in the Senate for the rest of this budget year, which includes the lame-duck session that would take place after Republicans could lose the House.
. . . .
But we can’t ever forget the point of the strategy isn’t just to make Trump feel less like the curdled, terrified child he knows he is.
He’s made a deal with Republicans that will go along with anything he does as long it helps conservatives control the courts and billionaires loot us with tax cuts while destroying our retirement by gutting Medicaid and Medicare.
That’s the agenda and it will always be the agenda.
Know this: People who’d steal babies would steal anything.
