This infuriates me more than anything else, but the Republicans were very clear on their intentions and were elected democratically.
It sucks that we don't have a legit opposition party that actually cares about the poor and working class.
The problem was:
During the campaign Trump repeatedly said he wouldn't mess with Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Towards the end of the campaign he stopped saying Medicaid. But just last week he was asked about cuts and said he wouldn't touch Medicaid.
I guess it's all true because Congress is going to cut all three.
A bunch of trump admin people wrote project 2025 with the heritage foundation. Trump himself is a well known liar and was under criminal prosecution.
We knew it would be tax cuts for the richest, again. At this point its still surprising that people are dumb enough to believe his words over his actions..
The amount of people I know that said they were voting Trump for "economic reasons" is far too high.
I know they make less money than I do, so they're definitely not the ones benefitting from Trumps economic plans. The absolute buffoons.
I'm well aware of project 2025, and I've understood for ten years now that if Trump's mouth is open, he's lying.
My best friend relies on medication to function that would cost $1600 each month if not for Medicaid. Obviously he can't afford private insurance. I was trying to reassure him that it might not happen with the (dis)information in my last post a couple days ago. He's screwed.
Not to me. At least half of Americans are not much better than apes. Honestly feels like we've got two different branches of the human tree coexisting. Like Neanderthals coexisting with homo sapiens.
It sucks that we have a society overflowing with braindead losers.
