So manchin thinks biden should agree to cuts in Medicaid and SNAP?

Cut cut cut. The Health and Human Services budget is 50% more than the defense budget and keeps growing. Put the brakes on it.[/quote]

83% of the HHS budget is Medicare and Medicaid. Other parts are research (like cancer research). Here is a copy of the 2024 proposed budget. What specifically would you cut or would you just like it to be cuts across the board and at what percentage? Would you cut Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements or services?

10-15% cut of the overall HHS budget for the next 3 years. Heavy layoffs and whole departments gone. All those GS-14s and above get pushed to private industry. The days of hundred billion contracts to big pharma by .gov are over. Medicaid food delivery? No. The damn thing is gobbling up everything else. Many cabinets are like it. Dept of Agriculture is a front organization for food stamps and EBT. The dept of Energy produces no energy; it just attacks the energy industry. The Dept of Commerce does it's level best to make us uncompetitive globally with all its rules. This big govt leviathan is out of control, it's operated by an administrative state of unelected bueaucrats answerable to no one and it's off the rails. Look at the DOT and FEMA response to accidents. It's a travesty and their employees are very well paid. Govt fails us again and again and throwing good money after bad at it is not a fix.

This country is going broke BECAUSE of Washington DC. The masterminds sitting there in their temperature controlled offices all day making proclamations from their ivory towers are our undoing. [/quote]

Exactly right. And the response by the Dems is to throw the doors open to everyone, which creates more of a need for food stamps, EBT, and forces low income Americans to compete for the same jobs. [/quote]

Illegals are not eligible for food stamps, EBT etc (and it is all called SNAP now, if you know anything about how this all works, which, clearly you don't)[/quote]
