After promising he would not cut Medicaid, Donald Trump is now planning to cut Medicaid. Pretend to be surprised.

I can't believe you people fell for that.
Courtesy of WaPo: 

President Trump’s first major budget proposal on Tuesday will include massive cuts to Medicaid and call for changes to anti-poverty programs that would give states new power to limit a range of benefits, people familiar with the planning said, despite growing unease in Congress about cutting the safety net. 

For Medicaid, the state-federal program that provides health care to low-income Americans, Trump’s budget plan would follow through on a bill passed by House Republicans to cut more than $800 billion over 10 years. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that this could cut off Medicaid benefits for about 10 million people over the next decade. 

The White House also will call for giving states more flexibility to impose work requirements for people in different kinds of anti-poverty programs, people familiar with the budget plan said, potentially leading to a flood of changes in states led by conservative governors. Many anti-poverty programs have elements that are run by both the states and federal government, and a federal order allowing states to stiffen work requirements “for able-bodied Americans” could have a broad impact in terms of limiting who can access anti-poverty payments — and for how long.

If you click here you can hear Trump promising that he would not be for cutting social programs like social security, medicare, and medicaid.

I can't believe at this point there are too many people who actually still think that Donald Trump is not completely full of shit.

Cutting these programs is the GOP white whale and with control over the White House, the Senate, and the Congress of course they are going to try and roll all of these programs back, or get rid of them altogether.

This is why you NEVER vote Republican. EVER!

    He's such a fucker! Republicans are going to lose their seats in Congress BIG TIME if they are up for reelection. Or, they will be afraid to run again.

    Trump is an evil soul!

      The elderly are on Medicare, not Medicaid. Trump and Republicans cannot touch Medicare without causing a senior revolt. This is all about welfare queen myths, poor people "taking advantage", hatred of the "other", etc.

      Medicaid is about subsidies and the poor Americans in our midst. Medicare is for the seniors (and disabled) which works beautifully. I've been on it for ten years - since age 65 when I retired (after working since the age of 20 full time).

      He does eventually want to "streamline Medicare" as he calls it and then also "streamline Social Security". None of this is sacrosanct regardless of whether we've paid into it or not.

    then I remembered this:

    https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2011/inside-dhs-former-top-analyst-says-agency-bowed-political-pressure

    "While at DHS, Johnson and his team wrote the April 7, 2009 report, "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." The report, which was intended for law enforcement only, was quickly leaked and caused a firestorm among some on the political right who accused DHS of painting all kinds of conservatives as potential Timothy McVeighs. In fact, it had merely pointed out that some domestic extremists focused on single issues like immigration and abortion and also noted that extremists were interested in recruiting military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Its analysis of the causes of the surge of right-wing radicalism — the election of the nation's first black president and the economy, among other things — still seems completely accurate and is in line with similar findings by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
    But DHS ultimately reacted to criticism from conservative columnists and groups like the American Legion by withdrawing the report. (Ironically, given the criticism of his report, Johnson describes himself as a registered Republican who "personifies conservativism.") In the months following the leak, Johnson says in the interview below, DHS gutted its domestic terrorism analysis unit."

    According to Trump anyone who pleads the fifth is a criminal so I guess he thinks Mike Flynn is a criminal? Michelle Obama was being disrespectful for not wearing a head scarf while visiting Saudi Arabia but he didn't make the First Lady or Melania wear them. And he has lied every day he has been in office, so all those poor white people in places like west Virginia who are on Medicaid are getting what they voted for, a lying hypocrite. Enjoy!

    Newt GingRICH, speaking Sunday on Fox News, pushed the idea that DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was shot and killed last summer in Washington, D.C., was murdered as part of a WikiLeaks-related conspiracy.

    “We have this very strange story now of this young man who worked for the Democratic National Committee,” said Gingrich, the former presidential candidate and Trump backer whose wife has been nominated as U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, “who apparently was assassinated at 4 in the morning, having given WikiLeaks something like 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments.”

    “Nobody’s investigating that, and what does that tell you about what’s going on?”

      "Anyone who doesn’t suspect a political assassination, a murder with political motive, is painfully naïve," Roger Stone, a conservative lobbyist and former Trump confidant and adviser, said on his show Monday. "The question is really why the president has not ordered the FBI to take over the investigation from the D.C. Metropolitan Police. The truth is the president controls both entities, although he controls the D.C. Metropolitan Police indirectly perhaps. And it’s time for a real investigation."

    I think many of the people who still support Trump are convinced that THEY deserve their benefits and therefore will not lose them. Only those lazy brown people who are cheating the system will be taken off the assistance rolls and properly punished for daring to ask for help.

    Or they hate the brown people so much that they're willing to be hurt themselves as long as the brown people suffer more.

    little water boy Rubio said "“I’ve told everybody: I want to know the truth. I want to know the entire truth. I want us to put it in a report.

      Marriages do tend to get WAY stressed when wifey has a boyfriend that is the husband's best friend and business partner and husband has 5 or 6 pieces on the side.

      Politics aside, that shit right there can be a deal breaker even in strong relationships, but can be especially traumatic in unholy unions that happened as a result of the wife-to-be being knocked up with another man's kid, which husband only became aware of when said kid was in his teens.

      Boy howdy, some people really know how to make a mess of things, right?
