But if that were true, then one would think that.
the so-called cost savings from certain wasteful cuts would be reinvested in medicaid however that is not what the committee is proposing they are proposing that we have cuts to these essential programs in order to pay for elon musk tax breaks
The order has come down to this committee.
Find $880 billion.
Find it for what?
To pay for a tax cut bill that benefits tax cuts on yachts and private jets and billionaires and mega corporations, while secretaries and working class people pay higher effective tax rates than Facebook does.
undocumented immigrants in this country pay more in taxes than many large corporations do.
And so the argument here that these cuts need to be for the sustainability of Medicaid doesn't really make sense when you realize that these cuts are being just moved to justify expenditures and deficit spending in another area.

Because what ICE tries to do is that they rely... Okay.
on people not knowing their rights in order to enter buildings, in order to search workplaces, et cetera.
So when you know your rights, you are able to tell them no, and they do walk away.
