Democrats have a trick where they claim in lowering of the increase in the budget as a “cut”. This smells like that.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that medicaid’s budget is 1 billion. With a proposed increase of 5% which would put the new budget at 1,050,000,000. A proposal is given to cut the increase in half to 2.5%, which means the budget is increasing to 1,025,000,000. Democrats will claim that medicaid is being cut by 25 million. When in reality it’s actually increasing by 25 million.
They pull that out that lie every time someone tries to get spending under control.

They pull that BS all of the time
