In Ohio, 345,300 Seniors depend on Medicaid to help pay for Assisted Living, and full care nursing homes. What's going to happen to these seniors when medicaid is cut?

You have got to be kidding me – of all people in this world, seniors know how to lift themselves up by their bootstraps so that the Capital Gains tax is not so onerous.

To summarize, MAGA is making more poor people and then they plan to kill them, kind of passively, by gutting any supports and taking away their healthcare. Poor people are a drag to look at, a sink for the economy and generally just no return on investment for the rich. Women are problematic too, but they will be taking that issue on a wee bit more slowly. No wonder MAGA is so angry all of the time. They have been convinced that it is the progressives who want feed, house, protect them from financial predation, and provide healthcare for them who are the problem. Also, there is the terror of finding yourself in a bathroom with a transgender person. We know that Nancy Mace is much more dangerous.

The Dems could refer to the wealthy who will benefit as the “billionaire cabal” or something similar.

Perhaps the “elite bandits” or “wealthy wankers” you get the idea.

Copy the Republican method of an easy to recall name and just shellac the robber barons with it constantly.

Who’s hurt by Trump gutting Medicaid and Food Stamps? Check this map which shows the number of people who rely on federal programs - by county, their age and who their elected rep they should hold accountable.

And they're not really even funding the lost revenue from the tax cuts. Under their budget, the debt will increase by $4.6 trillion.

“ work requirements strip health coverage from people with low incomes — most of whom are already meeting or exempt from the requirements — leading to gaps in care that damage their health and financial security and make it harder for them to find or keep a job.”

So many people are going to be hurt by this one Rich-People goal alone. It will reach far beyond "The Poor". Of course the elderly who need care (which this country has not seen fit to guarantee yet) will be hurt, but also their families; the generation in the middle who are working and trying to raise their own families. This is how the Rich are eating us.

Fair is far. People lose their health benefits, so should Congress. Let them spend some of their money that they love so much. What hatred lies in the heart of man!

Having been a political street organizer for 30 years, and having raised 125.00 to 300.00 a day from perfect strangers who contributed to our work, I wish you had gone into explicit detail as to exactly what these cuts in Medicaid will do to the population being targeted. This detailed rundown (and its consequences) can be used by people reading you to further their organizing. The more documentation organizers have the bigger the impact on those they are trying to organize.

Let's call out extermination policies for what they are.

Thanks mzr

P.S. Decided to write up a leaflet size article on exactly what Trump's eugenics plan behind the gutting

of Medicaid will do. I posted it on my husband, Lance Rosen's Substack.

For organizers.
