880 billion dollar for would literally be eliminating Medicaid, hope everyone who voted trump and Republicans are good with this, especially those who are poor and have kids with special needs.

I have family members who moved from state to state around 20 years ago until they found one that would approve their disability statuses so they no longer had to work and would qualify for the whole smorgasbord of government assistance programs including medicaid.
They think most people who are receiving these benefits are just lazy and that there would be more money for people like themselves who need that money if these programs were slashed. They believe only those other (i.e. lazy) people will lose benefits.
There’s literally no reasoning with that mentality. They seem to think this is all entertaining.
I guarantee you that once they are personally affected, and I’m pretty sure they will be affected at some point, they’ll turn on this administration.
I have many problems with this, but the hardest pill to swallow is that I’m going to have to be the bigger person and accept them with open arms because at the end of the day there’s no stopping this unless we’re all united.
I hope they get what they voted for. And I will NEVER accept them. They made this mess, it’s on their shoulders, pocketbooks, and well-beings to fix it.
Maybe… Or you tell them to get fucked and pull themselves up by the boot straps. Why have shitty people in your life?
I already mentioned it: I firmly believe that if there’s any chance of stopping this mess, it’s going to require working together and finding common ground with everyone who has been harmed, regardless of voting history, political affiliation, morals, and rationale. Divided we fall. We’ve already seen how being divided works out.
It’s not merely a belief, it’s the reality. The fuck’em mentality serves the 1% nicely and keeps us subservient. The dumb fucks like your relative weren’t born dumb fucks. Babies have no idea what’s going on in the socioeconomic system. They’re educated by society to be dumb fucks. Now let’s take a look at who’s paying to get them to believe dumb shit. And who’s paying to get us to believe in individual responsibility. And let’s observe who benefits from putting them together.
Like it or not, the only leverage we have is in numbers and it seems we don’t have the numbers without helping our dumb fuck brothers and sisters out of the mental prison they’ve been put in.
Divided we fall. ✊
Public assistance does not pay anything but poverty wages Certainly not enough to move from state to state shopping for the best food stamps and Medicaid deals. While I don’t disagree with your judgement of their character I do take issue with “smorgasbord” of government assistance.
Adult public assistance, SNAP, Temporary Assistance for needy families are all very limited. They are resource tested and income approved as well. Not to mention work requirements for any cash assistance except APA. BTW APA benefits are usually around $400-600 a month. Sounds very lucrative considering it is designed to supplement people making less that $1,200 a month in Social Security Benefits.
Anyone who has had to apply for disability knows it is a crap shoot as well. It is common for people to apply over theme course of several years before being approved for an amount no human can live off of without subsidized housing. That is if they can even find subsidized housing.
