GOP Plows Ahead With Budget That Would Slash Medicaid, Food Benefits for Millions | Common Dreams
Summary
House Republicans advanced a budget resolution that would impose deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP while extending tax breaks for the wealthy.
Analysts warn the proposal could strip benefits from 36 million Medicaid recipients and 9 million low-income people receiving food assistance.
Critics argue the plan worsens poverty and economic inequality, benefiting the top 1% while hurting working families.
Despite public opposition, the GOP is pushing the measure forward as part of Donald Trump’s legislative agenda, facing resistance from Democrats and Senate Republicans.
