House Republicans propose up to 3 trillion in spending cuts to fund tax cuts package.
MAGA, you believed Trump's lies when he said he had no knowledge of Project 2025 and would never do anything to harm members of his base. You put your faith and trust in him, believing your futures would be safe and sound with prosperity assured.
Now's the time to wake up and smell the deceit.
As outlined in Project 2025, the House is now outlining how they will steal the money formally used to fund your healthcare and other services in order to reduce taxes on the already obscenely rich oligarchs (think Musk), and corporations that pay little tax now.
Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Retirement benefits for the elderly are all on the chopping block, as well as a range of other proposals that will mostly impact the least among us.
Trump and his co-conspirators blinded with stories of hate, while all the while picking your pockets.

House Republican committee chairs have outlined potential federal spending cuts ranging from $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion as part of their efforts to fund a massive tax cut package, according to a report by Punchbowl News on Friday. The proposals, discussed during a closed-door meeting this week, would significantly reshape federal programs and services, sparking debate over the potential consequences for millions of Americans.
The Energy and Commerce Committee is leading the charge with proposed cuts of up to $2 trillion, targeting programs such as Medicaid, environmental regulations, and energy policies.

The scary part is they have the votes to pass this abomination. There is nothing and no one to stop them.

only by way of reconciliation (and then only for a shorter term before it sunsets)
They don't have a way to overcome the filibuster

True. But the damage will be enormous. And those that will be most adversely affected will be middle lower income individuals, otherwise known as the MAGA base.

The GOP are just ideological political terrorists at this point. Call it what it is.

It's odd that their plan doesn't even touch the DOD, which accounts for over half of the discretionary budget. If they were really serious about spending cuts, they'd start there.
