Late Tuesday night Republicans passed a budget bill to the House floor that
would further escalate their war on the middle class. Every* Republican voted
for it. The bill contains social safety net cuts including reductions to
Medicaid and SNAP, programs that subsidize healthcare and food for people who
cannot afford it.

Why would they cut these popular programs that are used widely even in
Republican-majority states? Tax cuts for billionaires. Even after ruining
their reputations by cutting more than $1 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP, the
total “savings” doesn't even get close to covering the $4.5 trillion in
planned tax cuts for the richest Americans.

Here’s why this is important: Medicaid and SNAP are trials for further social
program cuts. If this passes as-is, they’ll almost certainly look at Medicare
and Social Security as the next pool of money they can turn into donations to
billionaires.

* Technically Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted No but only because he doesn’t think the cuts go far enough so… he counts as a yes.
