We are bailing out Argentina while Argentina’s farmers sell soybeans to China in the place of American farmers which is putting them out of business, so now we also have to bail out American farmers while Argentinian farmers make bank.

Don’t let anyone say otherwise —> the Senate bill that’s being advanced this weekend very clearly will result in significant cuts to Medicaid.
Over 70 million Americans rely on this program.
Hospitals will close and ERs will serve as desperate last measures.
This is the true #MAHA agenda.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
