Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation​

Republican leaders, looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes, are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor.


President-elect Donald Trump’s economic advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.

Among the options under discussion by GOP lawmakers and aides are new work requirements and spending caps for the programs, according to seven people familiar with the talks, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Those conversations have included some economic officials on Trump’s transition team, the people said.

However, concern is high among some Republicans about the political downsides of such cuts, which would affect programs that provide support for at least 70 million low-income Americans, and some people familiar with the talks stressed that discussions are preliminary.


“I don’t think that passing just an extension of tax cuts that shows on paper an increase in the deficit [is] going to be challenging,” said one GOP tax adviser. “But the other side of the coin is, you start to add things to reduce the deficit, and that gets politically more challenging.”

The discussions center on Trump’s 2017 tax bill, which lowered taxes for the vast majority of Americans. Major portions of that law are set to expire at the end of next year, and extending those provisions — as Trump has proposed — would add more than $4 trillion to the already soaring national debt over the next decade, according to congressional bookkeepers. The debt exceeds $36 trillion now. Trump also campaigned on a bevy of new tax cuts — such as ending taxes on tips and overtime — which tack trillions more onto the overall price tag.

Clinton did similar things and that was okay.

The issue for me is that maybe granny cannot get out and then has to send someone to store for her.

OK...I got it.

If granny needs to send somebody to get her groceries with HER EBT card then she can also give him her ID and a CURRENT utility bill...all with grannys name & address on them. If the name & address match on all 3...allow the use of the EBT card.

Other than that...it's photo ID of the person using the card.

As far as one person using a dozen EBT card...ENDED! That should have never been allowed in the first place (unless all the cards were issued to one person & they saved them).

It's your fault that most dems are viewed as bat-shit crazy and no longer the party of the working man.

Unlike Trump's support for not paying overtime. That's how he'll get rid of the tax on it.

Apply the same standard to Trump the subhuman who laid around on his ass in his pee jays till the crack of noon upstairs from the oval office, then hit the links.

He was the laziest **** ever elected POTUS.

This unhinged lunacy is why you just lost everything, dipshit.

You'll NEVER figure it out. lol

I can see extending the 2017 tax cuts, but I don't see much in the way of cuts to Medicaid and food stamps getting passed through Congress. No way are any of the democrats going to support that and even a few repubs won't either. In 2026 there are double the number of GOP seats up for grabs in the Senate vs dem seats and I don't see vulnerable senators cutting benefits spending.

Voters voted to blow up the inflated government bureaucracy and I'm glad it looks like we're actually going to do it. Everything must be looked at. There is no government agency which isn't rife with fraud and waste.

Convenience stores and fast foods now accepting EBT cards in many blue states. Outrageous. Way more expanded than originally promised. But isn't that the way with ALL entitlements? The federal income tax was promised never to exceed 1% at its inception.

Leftwing politicians are evil.

Is Trump lying about cutting Medicaid — or is Congress?

Trump says Republicans won’t “touch” the program. But he left them a loophole.

Mr. Trump said Medicaid was safe from cuts. It isn’t.

Tens of millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for health care. Its expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act has been lifesaving for both low-income workers and rural hospitals. In states that did not opt to expand Medicaid under the act, hundreds of hospitals have closed. The same will happen everywhere else if Congress cuts funding and states cannot afford to make up the difference.

You aware states can also cut Medicaid coverage?

You link simply says that there is a bill, that if passed, simply ask the Committee to find savings.

That's not a cut.
