The best safety net is a job.
But Let’s talk about the term “CUTS” again.
Is it really a cut in overall spending, or is it simply a cut in spending INCREASE? If the latter, then there are NO CUTS.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that medicaid’s budget is 100 billion. With a proposed increase of 5% which would put the new budget at 105,000,000,000. A proposal is given to cut the increase in half to 2.5%, which means the budget is increasing to 102,500,000,000. Democrats will claim that medicaid is being cut by 2.5 billion ( actually, to make it sound more dire, they’d say that it is being cut IN HALF ). When in reality it’s actually INCREASING by 2.5 billion.
They pull that out that lie every time someone tries to get spending under control and the Republicans allow them to do it. I wonder if Trump is as good a communications man as he claims to be....
And the best motivation to get a job is no safety net.
What are you? Some kind of greedy capitalist? I'll bet you're a white male. Check your privilege! /S
Geez...I felt dirty and stupid just typing that!
