Republic of the House of Representatives last week We adopted a budget resolution,,, First step To start millions of dollars in Medicaid and to enact legislation to reduce poor food support in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) $ 1.67 per meal On average for general recipients -while providing Average tax reduction $ 278,000 Add the top 0.1%, the water tank to the national deficit.
There are still many steps in this budget process, but the Republican Party aims to use the following procedures: Budget adjustmentThe Senate allows you to pass the bill with 51 votes, not 60. In fact, this means that Republicans can pass this budget without the support of both parties. In the political side, it means that only Republicans own this budget.
We know the true goal of this budget resolution.
Of course it became stronger Public push bag Farther away from furniture struggling with food and health care, we oppose the laws that enrich the rich people. In response Quit From GOP supporters of the budget resolution Keep Resolution Not so Medicaid cutting.
Of course, many of the Republican members of the House of Representatives have Sayed ~ Above and ~ Above They want to cut Medicaid and SNAP. But they claim that they will not do so. Instead, the resolution says that it just instructs a committee to supervise Medicaid and instructs SNAP to reduce spending. Wink, wink.
In short, it is a lie. The Republican Republican Party not only admitted their intentions, but also needs to reduce these programs due to simple mathematics of budget solution.
The budget resolution creates a binding guideline for various committees to achieve certain deficit impacts. But these instructions are as follows: It should not be specific about how to achieve that effect. In other words, it is true that the guidelines call Medicaid and SNAP in detail, but literally cannot mention Medicaid or SNAP.
But we know the true goal of this budget resolution. Author-Chairman of the House Budget Committee Jodey Arrington, R-TEXAS- I published a document In January, we specify a program cut. And guess what the list is characterized by: Medicaid and SNAP reduction of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Republicans that support these wounds can not maintain this novel much longer, even if there is no cut.
Mathematics, which the House of Representatives voted to approve, is impossible without a deep cut for Medicade and is almost impossible without cutting. The budget resolution passed is instructed to find the House of Representatives Energy and Commercial Commission to find at least $ 880 billion in fiscal year from 2025 to 2034, which instructs the House of Agricultural Commission to find at least $ 230 billion in the same window.
These reductions should be from a program in which the committee has jurisdiction. In the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives and Commercial Commissions, only about $ 500 billion is not Medicare or Medicaid. If the advocates of this budget resolution do not cut the Medicare promised not to do not do, the jurisdiction of Energy and Commerce Committe is not sufficient to achieve a deficit of $ 880 billion without reducing Medicaid.
The House of Representatives Agriculture Committee supervises $ 1 trillion, and SNAP takes $ 1 trillion. Mathematically can be left as it is, but you need to cut. all Otherwise, the committee supervises 75 %on average. Do you think the Republican Republican Party will reduce all farm programs by 75 %? Or do you think they are cutting snaps, as they said they wanted to have a lot of time?
Republicans that support these wounds can not maintain this novel much longer, even if there is no cut. The House of Representatives and the Senate are currently trying to agree on the budget resolution. At some point, they must write a bill, not just a frame. And at that point, if the bill reflects the passage of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, the US public will see that Republicans will help millions of health care and food support will help millions of people to reduce taxes.
