Summary
House Republicans cannot meet their budget target without major cuts to Medicare or Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Their budget plan requires $880 billion in cuts, but with Medicare excluded, Medicaid makes up 93% of the available funds.
This puts Republicans in a bind between conservative hard-liners demanding cuts and moderates opposing reductions to essential health programs.
While Trump claims Medicaid will be untouched, Speaker Mike Johnson argues it has excessive fraud.
It’s Russian style elections from here on out, where the numbers are made up and the votes don’t matter.
And by here on out you mean since last November right ? The numbers don’t mean anything for a while now
