Trump To Pay For Tax Cuts For The Rich By Slashing Food Stamps And Social Security Disability

[William769]

President Trump’s budget is proposing a $1.7 trillion cut in food stamps, children’s health insurance, Social Security Disability Insurance and other social safety net programs to balance the budget and pay for his tax cuts to the wealthy.

Axios reported, “Where the entitlement cuts are made: From programs including SNAP (food stamps), CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), and SSDI (Disability Insurance). The budget proposal will also assume that Trump can sign into law the American Health Care Act — the Obamacare repeal and replace bill that passed the House and is now being considered by the Senate. That bill makes substantial cuts to Medicaid.”

It is important to note that there are different Social Security programs. There is Social Security, Supplemental Social Security (SSI), and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI).

Donald Trump is literally paying for his tax cut plan where most of the benefits go to the very wealthy by taking food, health care, and income away from people with disabilities. However, slashing assistance to the disabled wasn’t enough, so his administration is also cutting Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Nearly 20% of Americans have a disability, and those people are going to see some cut in assistance under the Trump budget.

11. And I wish the fundamental economics would get more play: channeling more money to people with lots

of money IS NOT NEARLY AS STIMULATIVE to the economy as distributing it to those in need, who go spend it.

We already fought this battle in 2009 when we had to debate tax cuts vs other stimulative measures when the economy was tanking.

14. I wish I could impress upon you the vast number of people who I work with/live in my community

who are receiving SNAP, WIC, Medicaid for their kids, SS disability for themselves that had big, fat "Trump/Pence" signs plastered all over their property.

And I just shake my head.
