One of my podcasts this week was wondering why the clown show admin was bothering to cut medicare. They cited estimates that this bill would increase the US debt by 7 trillion over the next whatever years (like 10 or 15, I forget the exact period), and the medicare/medicaid cuts would only save 1 trillion of that. So basically, why bother saving a fraction of the cost if it's gonna be a bananas increase anyway. You'd think the fragile orange wouldn't want anyone negatively reacting to his decisions, especially his cultist voters in poor red states.
because tying healthcare to people's work is the modern whip of slavery
they want to ensure you have no options left but to be a slave to the shitty conditions of whatever job they want you to do
But that's already true without cutting those programs. They're already shitty stopgaps and we're still wage slaves.
yes and with the cuts, millions more would go from a bad situation to a desperate one... the more desperate, the better the slave
