So...the Democrats are all in an uproar claiming Medicaid and Welfare are being cut. Here's the truth:

Quote

One of the bill's major components includes "community engagement requirements," forcing able-bodied adults without dependents to work, volunteer, or pursue education for at least 80 hours per month. Additionally, Medicaid recipients would need to verify their status with the federal government twice a year instead of once.

This simply put, means that if you are an American citizen, you qualify for Medicaid.

It also means that those on welfare and are deemed "able bodied", must work, volunteer for something (more work), or go to school.

These provisions will keep illegals off Medicaid...which is a good thing...and push "able bodied" welfare recipients to actually DO SOMETHING (which is also good).

How can anyone disagree with this?

Well...Trump's Big Beautiful Bill has passed the House.

I like the result.

Thoughts?

I have to take a closer look at it. 

I heard the softer side of the Republican party got its filthy digits on it and watered it down.

Ya they insisted on bigger state deductions. Its "pork" for their constituents...nothing more.

Politicians playing politics. They scream for a balanced budget out one side of their mouths...and scream for less federal income out the other side.

Once Trump is done with the spending needed to finish The Wall and assorted other expenses, I believe he will push for a more balanced budget in the future.

You OBVIOUSLY don't know the details about the House bill.

For one thing, it forces the unprecedented cutting of $500 BILLION from Medicare.

Fortunately it is unlikely to be passed by the Senate.

So what? Is that $500B well spent or wasted on non-citizens?

YOU ^don't know what you're LYING about.

Non-citizens can pay for and be eligible for Medicare. The cut to Medicare is hidden and mandated by PAYGO laws.

Yes, non-U.S. citizens can be eligible for Medicare, but it depends on their immigration status and work history. Generally, they need to be lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) who have resided in the U.S. for at least 5 years. Additionally, they may need to have worked in Medicare-covered employment for at least 10 years (40 quarters) to qualify for premium-free Part A. 
 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Undocumented Immigrants: Undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for Medicare. 
  • Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs): Green Card holders who have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years are eligible for Medicare. 
     
  • Work History: LPRs can also qualify for Medicare if they have worked in Medicare-covered employment for at least 10 years (40 quarters).

Workfare isn't exactly a new idea, some countries have had work houses for the poor before.

I think a resurgent moral imperative to not be a drag on society along with the rise of AI and automation in the workplace might result in an even stranger dystopian world.

 

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

What do you think will happen when you don't need people to work but people need to work?

If we're that stupid, then we deserve what we get.

I am not a big supporter of AI. It's dangerous.

YOU don't know who YOU are SHILLING for. 

Or maybe you do. 

Either way, globalist sluts are being stripped of power and it's a glorious sight. ;)

Let's see if it passes the Senate.

I have not looked at the details - but I trust Johnson.
