House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Republicans’ so-called “big, beautiful” spending bill does not include Medicaid cuts.
Johnson said, “No. You can underscore what I am about to tell you: there are no Medicaid cuts in the big, beautiful bill. We are not cutting Medicaid. What we are doing is reducing the program wrought with fraud, waste and abuse to make sure that that program is essential to so many people and ensure that it is available for the most vulnerable. It’s intended for young, single pregnant women, the disabled and elderly. ”

I said you know she is. Then she says this bill is going to take away her Medicare away from her. I just looked at her. She said you don't know this. You need to educate yourself! Then I just walked away.
Fred Sanford would have smacked her ‘crost her lips.
I first voted for a President in 1976. I remember an issue at the time was that if you voted for a Republican they would take away your Social Security. It looks like they haven’t stopped with the fear mongering.
Sad.
They have no substantive arguments, so all they can do is fearmongering to their base of low information voters.
Unfortunately my late dad was one of those.
He lived his life as a conservative (devout Orthodox Christian, owned guns, Navy WW2 vet, flew the flag every national holiday, worked hard all his life and had no use for able bodied “bums” etc.)
But voted Dem reflexively all his life until his death in 2014.
The only media he consumed was the daily paper, the local TV news, the 6:30 NBC Nightly News, and the top of the hour radio news updates while in the car.
He had a paralyzing fear of Republicans taking away his social security and Medicare and nothing I ever said could convince him otherwise.
That is terrible
libtards consider illegals not getting medicaid to be a ‘cut’.... even if it makes the program more solvent for Americans.
They will always take a cheap shot
“Johnson said, “No. You can underscore what I am about to tell you: there are no Medicaid cuts in the big, beautiful bill.”
OK so don’t cut Medicaid for people that really need it but get rid of the illegal aliens (not undocumented migrants or newcomers) and perpetually too lazy to work folks (who are also probably living on tax payer feuded welfare).
” You need to educate yourself! “
Progressives love that phrase. It’s supposed to end all debate.
Why not?
True, but unfortunately, your dad is still reliably voting mass-media-scared-democrat the past 11 years.
/Our dead have rights!
