US Budget Cuts Spark Outrage: Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP Face Deep Funding Slashes
The United States House of Representatives recently voted to implement significant cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The vote, which passed narrowly, has sparked outrage among many Americans who rely on these programs. One social media user, zoey! (@beaningzoey), captured the widespread concern in a viral video. "They voted to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAPs," zoey! said in her video, "It's done. It's cut, bitch." She went on to explain the process, noting that only two Republicans voted against the bill. The cuts are estimated to be between $500 billion and $600 billion, and will also add $3.8 trillion to the national deficit. The close vote highlights the deep divisions in Congress over social spending and the potential impact on millions of Americans. Experts warn that these cuts could have devastating consequences for vulnerable populations. The video's emotional tone reflects the anxiety and fear many feel about the potential impact of these cuts. This event underscores the importance of civic engagement and the need for continued dialogue about the nation's social safety net.
