"Republican Moves: Cutting Medicaid Benefits While Boosting the Rich"

House Republicans have approved a budget strategy that drastically cuts vital services, such as Medicaid and child nutrition initiatives, to fund an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts. A recent congressional analysis suggests potential expenses could reach $5.5 trillion in the coming decade. This proposal, which largely benefits wealthy individuals and corporations, has drawn criticism from figures like Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, who decries it as a misguided fiscal approach that prioritizes billionaires over struggling families.
