Vulnerable House Republican warns against benefit cuts

Pennsylvania Rep. Rob Bresnahan is the latest swing-district Republican to issue a warning over deep spending cuts GOP leaders are targeting for key safety net programs in a bill to enact President Donald Trump's massive domestic agenda.

“I ran for Congress under a promise of always doing what is best for the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Bresnahan in a statement Friday. “If a bill is put in front of me that guts the benefits my neighbors rely on, I will not vote for it. Pennsylvania’s Eighth District chose me to advocate for them in Congress. These benefits are promises that were made to the people of NEPA and where I come from, people keep their word.”

This Congressman is not one of these people.

That's because his constituents aren't, either.

Sure, I bet you're a real beauty. But I'm not interested. No offense but you sound like a whack job. Maybe you can find a date at the nap center.

That is highly inaccurate as they also voted for McCormick over Casey. The guys at turning point flipped the majority of the voters the last two years to Republican in his district. In that particular district are the Latino Trump
Voters if he turns against Trump he’s cooked as they MAGA.

There is talk now of limiting what items the EBT will pay for. Long overdue in my opinion. There is no reason anyone should be buying high end items using an EBT card. The basics should be covered, nothing else.

They will be working for a long while restocking supplies for the Army and Marines. It is heartening to know we have not outsourced this capability.
