    They will call it eliminating waste money, fraud and abuse. Then call it a day. They dont care as long as they get more wealth. Republicans never change. Step on anyone for another payday.

      Yeah, all of those fraud cases that they’ve been pursuing since Trump got back into office… 🙄

      Ridiculous that nobody ever really calls them out on this shit. Fraud has a specific definition, and it’s a crime. Eliminating it would include prosecuting it… So where are they? Where are all of the fraud convictions?

      Aside from fucking Rick Scott and Brett Favre of course

        Well, of course the real answer is that calling it fraud is simply how they justify the transfer of wealth to already obscenely rich people. But as for how the propaganda works, it ties into how they don’t believe in due process. Right now it’s most visible in how they’re kidnapping people, but it also extends to fraud. They claim fraud, no prosecution happens because ThE CouRtS ArE cORrUPt, and so they get to go outside the law and do things like cut already allocated Medicaid funds without losing support.

    Stop. Using. Their. Programs. Terms.

    People are stupid enough to only look at titles of bills and make assumptions about their contents that fits their biases

    That’s just the start. After the tax cuts start working their way, there is going to be a massive shortfall in public funding, and then the, “Who could have seen this coming?” will start and then the real Tightening of the Belt.

    Ah yes, yet another transfer of wealth to the ultra wealthy:

    Funding tax cuts for wealthy people by defunding public programs for others.
