John,
Last week, MAGA Republicans in Congress squeaked through their $4.5 trillion welfare bill for the super rich.
The new law will end up being far worse than nonpartisan analyses currently make it sound. But the account is already pretty rough:
*$800 billion in cuts to Medicaid *Nearly $300 billion in cuts to SNAP (food assistance) *Clean energy manufacturing slashed, which will cost the U.S. (and Colorado in particular) hundreds of thousands of jobs *ACA health insurance premium subsidies cut, which will cause losses in coverage and will increase premiums for everyone *Massive increase in funding to ICE—over $150 billion in just four years
Our top two GOP targets voted without question for this monstrosity: Lauren Boebert and Gabe Evans.
