House Republicans are putting it on paper.They plan to pay for tax cuts for the rich and corporations by taking away health care and food from lower-income people.

Political reports.

The policy menu suggests that Republicans could get big savings from Medicaid, up to about $2.3 trillion. basis, rather than being a perpetual right, and will impose work requirements in the program.

The list also includes a policy to equalize payments for able-bodied adults in Medicaid with traditional Medicaid enrollees for those with disabilities or low-income children, which would save up to $690 billion.

It would “roll back” $46 billion in savings from Affordable Care Act health insurance plan subsidies that expire at the end of the year, setting up a major political battle.It would also limit eligibility for programs based on citizenship status.

It memorandum claims Republicans could cut $347 billion in food aid to the nation's most vulnerable.

Millions of Americans will lose their health care if Republicans cut Medicaid. Millions more could lose their health care and go hungry.

This pain could be inflicted on Americans as Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other billionaires want massive tax cuts.

Republicans are attempting the largest redistribution of wealth in nearly 100 years. Lower-income people who voted for Donald Trump hoped that he would increase their benefits, or at least not cut them. Some people voted for Trump because they thought he would send more stimulus checks.

There will be no stimulus checks under Trump.

Instead, these people are likely to be deprived of food and healthcare.

The people who have the least will lose the most so that those who have the most will gain more.

This is not what Americans voted for, this is what they are going to get under Donald Trump.
