From the moment the Republicans announced their tax reduction plan of $ 4.5 billion for the rich and the companies, people who know where money comes from warned that such a cup would only be possible if social security, health insurance and medicaid were cut.
Trump and Elon Musk could not get the votes to cut these programs without a cover story, and this cover is waste, fraud and abuse.
The member of the Chamber’s credit committee, Mark Alford (R-MO), admitted that Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security should be reduced CNN:
Look, Elon Musk is a brain with an IQ that I can’t even understand. It is not a clever master and language like new politicians and presenters. I think when he talks about elimination, I think we are talking about eliminating waste, abuses and fraud.
And it is true that. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security represent around 75% of our budget. These are compulsory expenses. We have to find the savings there. We will do that. The budget director addressed our Whip team last night at a meeting and stressed that there were savings to be made in the Medicaid program.
This is there. The republican plan all the time was to cut “rights”.
