Nobody is able to work if they are on disability which is the point of the program. Dummies! If anything, they should say, you get this money to help you so you never work again. They never think.

...or at least his advisors do.

"We've instituted a new work requirement in order to receive disability. Oh, your disability means you can't work? Too bad, so sad. Sucks to be you."

They want to punish poor and disabled people for existing.

The only comfort I get from such a horror is that they will be hated by a very large group of people. Disabled folks have parents, siblings and friends. On average every person has about 10 to 15 close loved ones. They will all hate the MAGAts for this.

Are they cutting military disability too? Are they forcing the guy who got severe brain trauma in W's wars to go back to work too?

Had to add that those 65 and older are the people with the most disabilities. A big chunk of them voted for Trump. The screwing of his own voters now begins..... didn't take long.

About head trauma injuries from the Iraqi war and all those IEDs exploding in our troop's faces. Though it wasn't just IEDs; there were other types of bombings that caused brain injuries too.

Trump always insults the military.

Tell me another one.

THEY DO NOT FUCKING CARE

We need to give them a huge backlash about this. Because if this goes down easy for them they will put Social Security and Medicare up for the chopping pronto! I hope there is a huge turn out for protecting the safety net of those of us who are in the hardest spot. If not we get what we deserve!

that included gutting Medicaid by ~ 750 billion they planned to use to pay for their promised tax cuts for the rich,, then went over to the White House Rose Garden to celebrate with Trump. When they finally didn’t get it passed through both chambers of Congress their billionaire financiers demanded their tax breaks anyway, which they immediately voted for and just tacked on to the debt.

They’ll do the same thing again.

This can’t be said enough!

will start to vote after four years of this

The elderly who didn't vote this time will likely be dead in four years, because they didn't vote this time!

We see how it turned out this time! Hard work between elections. Contacting officials local and national to stop this madness! City officials five miles from me just voted to make sleeping on public property illegal! This, an open attack on homeless people. It’s so much easier to pass the problem off. Activism is the answer! We could start with getting big money out of elections and forming some type of guidelines or recourse to political ads that are blatant lies! But no, simply voting is no longer the answer!

is stealing every dime that the US has.

for the most part, you can only receive food stamps if you are here legally. there are many families on food stamps (snap) where there is an undocumented individual in the household. It happens a lot with "anchor babies". Dad and mom sign up the family but only request food stamps for the children who are here legally but do not request assistance for themselves. Since dad and mom are not receiving assistance, they do not need to prove they are documented. Everyone knows the cases with children only are almost certainly families with an undocumented individual living in the house, usually as the head of household.

For years we fought with the federal government/Congress to keep these cases secret. In my state some red neck employees sent a list of all of those cases to the news media. Luckily the media did not publish the names or send them to the feds. The employee were fired.

With a Trumper as head of Agriculture, the feds are going to require the states turn over the names of those families where one or more family members are "not on the case"

That is how they will identify "illegals" and deport them. And the children? Since they have no tie to the country their parents are from, they might not be able to go with their parents when deported. they will go into foster care.

The other thing is the chilling effect. If Trump successfully gets the names, families with and undocumented member in the family will stop applying for food stamps. Kids go hungry. So sad and short sighted.

More likely they will be 'Proud Boys'.

the "public charge" policy for non citizen immigrants who receive SNAP, Medicaid etc that he implemented during his last presidency will be reinstated.

Perhaps someone should clue them in to the fact that if the administration makes cuts in medicare or social security that no Republican will ever be elected again in the United States.

Once again the expectation that there is going to be another election, needs to be tempered by realizing that there may not be another election!

Trump plans to remain in the White House as long as possible.

And they won anyway.

If they cut food stamps, people will actually starve to death because as helpless as they are, they would rather die than beg.
If they cut food stamps, soon we will be seeing pictures of emaciated children right here in the US. White children among them.
If they cut food stamps, the crime rate will soar because desperate hungry people will have no alternative in order to exist.
If they cut food stamps, their health will plummet.
And if they have no healthcare (Medicaid or Medicare), they will die.

If this all does come to pass, we'll see tent clinics and tent kitchens pop up all over this country.

All this and we haven't even heard what they're going to do to HUD. That's one they will probably eliminate altogether too, which will put them on the street or what? in garages?

It's purging the weak. They look at them as animals, not human beings.

They. Don't. Care. Period. They have no conscience, much less know the meaning of it.
No empathy. None. Zip. How many of us can say we have actually rubbed elbows with one of
these reptiles? The closest I can say I have come to are Republicans. They are in my family!
They call themselves Christians, yet vote with the Corporatocracy. They must be color blind,
because they don't appear to have noticed the red letters in the New Testament.

I am not a practicing Protestant, but all I learned from the religion when I was a kid stuck with me.
I am a Christian in my heart thru and thru. Not too crazy about "God" in the Old Testament, but
I do believe there was a good man that walked this earth whom we know as Jesus and he had some
pretty damn good ideas that mankind ought to listen to and abide by. And for goodness sake, I have
ALWAYS believed in the separation of Church and State!!!

The inability, for whatever reason, to feel empathy is one if not the biggest problem(s) in this
Capitalistic society. And don't anyone call me the C word because I do appreciate Capitalism.
It's just gone too damn far. Too many are in want in this so-called "Richest Nation on Earth".
I digress.

Here is a line at a food bank:

Below is a Chicago homeless shelter:



Thousands line up for free medical care in LA. (WABC news)

but there are plenty, even a majority, of white folks living in rust belt towns and rural areas who use them as well. I'd bet that group contains a lot of Trump/R voters. Then there are the families of people living in nursing homes where medicaid picks up the tab. What happens to their loved ones?

Trumpers don't think beyond their noses when they propose policies.

I had a wonderful friend, 101 years old, she was in assisted living. She called me on the phone distraught and verified that I would be there to see her that evening. When I walked in the room she handed me a letter. It was from Medicaid letting her know that she had been accepted into the program. She was mortified and certain it was a mistake. In her mind Medicaid was for the hopeless folks that had nothing. She did not want Medicaid and said her great nephew must have signed her up for this. I read the letter, turned the pages and told her this sounded like a good program and she should use it. She’s like..’Really??Are you sure??? Well only if you say so!!’ My heart broke for her, a retired nurse for almost 40 years….she was bound to run out of money some day…99% of us are. We need to stand up for these programs. They are lifesavers for so many. Annie was an amazing soul born in 1909! A true inspiration!

She’s still an angel and looks out for us! 🙏🏼💗💗

for sharing that poignant experience. It forced a torrent of giant tears from my eyes.

Another example of being careful what you wish for.

if you don't listen, you gotta feel.

They all spout the Bible (which can be yours for the low, low price of $69.99) and, in the Trump Bible, it must have something about starving the little children.

No surprises there. pfft.

* her humble SS and Federal Retirement benefits would never cover the actual cost. I wonder what will happen to her if Medicaid is cut or has "work requirements".

Will she be kicked out? Will she be moved to a cheaper facility? Perhaps they'll move her to a regular-care floor rather than a memory-care floor? Or they'll have to triple-up and put three to a room?

Yes. That is their intent.

The top tier Capitalists want you to just friggen die already.

for Donald Trump and all of his kids.

They've never tried working. It might be kinda fun to watch.

made into a movie. One that everyone in the country would have access to,
free of charge, edibles and drinks included. It'd have a catchy tune like
"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" chiming in intermittently. It would be
"Hillary-ous.."

You have absolutely got to be kidding me. Just kill me now so I don't have to watch the disintegration of the U.S. This is just unacceptable.

Wait till the poor whites who voted for him figure it out

There are billionaires who need another tax cut.
