'Call This What It Is—Theft': Republicans Approve Largest Medicaid, SNAP Cuts in US History

Americans have been poisoned with the idea that any kind of aid to poor people is the cause of poverty.

And now we're going to get a hard dose of what its like to live in a country without social benefits.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

This is what I call "what America literally voted for".

On the DemocracyNOW broadcast today they called it social murder. I think that's more accurate.

"Theft" implies a transfer of wealth, but that's not how government funding works. They aren't taking money from the poor to give it to the rich, they are just taking money from the poor because they want them to die.

Cutting benefits for the poorest.

Recipe for civil unrest, riots.

Riots mean more militarization of police, more authoritarianism, and domestic camps like Arpaio’s shitholes.

Now you have opportunity for forced labor to take the place of the exploited migrant labor we used to have.

Republicans just wanted to put minorities back in the fields as essentially slaves.

It’s almost like they aren’t aware of this piece of history

Make America Great Again, they never said for whom.

While this administration justified its urgency for punishing tariffs on Canada and Mexico due to a fentanyl crisis taking life of thousands of good Americans, the same administration is about to take life of hundreds of thousands of good Americans itself to make billionaires wealthier.

"I didn't vote for this!" - Every dumbass that voted for this.

As others have pointed out, this is social murder.

I wonder how many typical maga idiots, if they even are aware of what is happening, are wondering why donvict is not hurting the people he "needs to be hurting". The others are probably blaming Biden.

And then I have to wonder what the bothsiderists/centrists and so-called "leftists" that were claiming Harris/Biden were no different are going to say as they wake up to stuff like this? They were and are spending so much time on trying to gaslight everyone and telling people that an economy that had so many positive indicators and was trending in the right direction was just terrible, etc., ignoring the fact that a dummy like donnie could easily destroy what others have built...

The US has run out of sympathy from the rest of the world. This is what you voted for, this is what you allow to happen, this is your due. Either fix it or learn to live without healthcare.

They need all that Medicaid funding to help the legion of soon-to-be obese leopards.

This evil Keebler elf and all the GOP are murderers and they should be treated as such.

The red run welfare Oblast voters will enjoy their shit sandwich. Fucking morons.

Revolution.

It also restricts all forms of gender affirming care, including medication, from being funded by Medicare. 150,000 trans folk will soon be forcibly detransitioned, and for many, it is literally lifelong required medication because of past surgeries.

It's controlling, cruel and needless. But thats what conservatives want so here we are.

This is what American public wanted. 🤗

Paygo is a poison pill the GOPux passed in 1990
We see the results
Unwilling to figure out a sensible budget, their incompetence triggers automatic cuts... Next up Debt Ceiling
