Really looking forward to trillions added to the national debt in exchange for higher cost healthcare and a few temporary tax credits.
the present plan left us by the last administration is already adding trillions to the deficit including transgender training for the indians in the amazon rain forest and sesame street in Iraq. is that what you're referring to ?

  • Medicaid: $700–$880B cut via work requirements, eligibility checks, and ending benefits for undocumented immigrants (7.6–10M lose coverage).
  • SNAP: $300B cut with work requirements (~11M lose benefits).
work requirements for those who are able bodied and able to work. thats not a cut to healthcare thats getting those who can work and illegals off the gravy train.

again despite your best efforts to misrepresent this as cuts to healthcare there are no such cuts.
Did you know Uber eats lets you pay for grocery delivery with SNAP at some locations?

I’m not really okay with that. It’s bloody expensive getting groceries delivered, so I don’t do it. Not okay with my tax dollars paying for someone else to get that instead.

i did not but we have similar issues here in maryland. Steamed crabs are a delicacy and very expensive but you can use your snap beni's to buy them in many of the seafood stores. I think SNAP should be used for essential groceries.

and then if you take pre covid totals and plug in a more reasonable growth rate of 3 percent a year then you get totals more in line with where the proposed budget is trying to go.
