GOP to Cull Thousands from Herd with Medicaid Cuts

Thursday, April 24, 2025

Congressional Republicans in both chambers passed a resolution to cut at least $880 billion from the budget through 2034. Because Medicaid accounts for approximately 93% of non-Medicare funding, the program is expected to absorb the overwhelming share of these reductions. The cuts to Medicaid would result in widespread coverage losses, which could lead to 15,400 deaths due to work reporting requirements or roughly 34,200 deaths from reduced federal funding each year. With the GOP, the greedy American oligarchs below are aiding and abetting in what Friedrich Engels called "social murder."

Trump/MAGA figures on dead innocents as the cost of doing business; or satisfying Trump's ego.

If you think this is bad, wait until Trump's war.

Trump's insanity, his obvious megalomania, will ensure a war. More than one.

He doesn't see American citizens as being human beings. Hell, he doesn't even believe in the concept of "American citizen".

How bad can it get? No one with any genuine interest in history has to ask that question.

#1: Good Morning Zed: Concur, these cuts will be terrible for poor Americans. Elect a sociopath to be President, expect sociopathic behavior. But the Trumpf junta already started the war by bombing the starving (Shia) Houthis on behalf of war criminal Bibi Netanyahu and murderous (Sunni) Muhammad Bin Salman. Basically only the press from the Middle East is reporting about the US military atrocities that have cost the American taxpayer one billion dollars with little to nothing accomplished except Murder-Death-Kill.

Yes, you are right of course. Trump wages war on the Houthis.

But I know that he has set his ambitions much higher.

Trump can't feel important unless he makes people bleed. His financial sociopathy only spells metaphorical blood. He's thirsty for the real thing.

#4: Agree, Trumpf delights in causing other people's miseries: Megalomaniacal schadenfreude.

The Shock and Awe phase is just about over.

Now we enter the slog phase . Where we slowly slog thru these issues in the courts while the People take to the streets.

It's nice to follow a conversation here without all the idiot mouthbreathers chiming a bunch of BS nonsense in.

Killing poor people so rich people can be richer.

How masculine.
