Morgan McGarvey: Trump is Lying About Medicaid and Social Security Cuts

Medicaid and Social Security Cuts

• 🎯 Congressman Morgan McGarvey asserts that President Trump is lying about not touching entitlements like Medicaid and Social Security.
• 💰 McGarvey points to proposed budget cuts of at least $880 billion from the Energy and Commerce Committee, which he argues necessitates cuts to Medicaid or Medicare.
• ⚠️ While Republicans have stated they will not touch Medicare, they are being less definitive about Medicaid.
• 🤝 Republican Representative Don Bacon suggested agreeing to no more than $500 billion in Medicaid cuts, implying that cuts are indeed planned.

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

• 💡 McGarvey advocates for eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government to free up funds for those in need.
• 📉 He argues that there isn't $500 billion worth of waste or fraud in the already underfunded Medicaid program, nearly half of which serves children.

Republican Constituents and Town Halls

• 🗣️ McGarvey believes Republicans will have to answer to their constituents regarding these budget proposals.
• 🚫 He notes that Republicans are advising their members to avoid town halls and direct constituent engagement, likely to evade questions about potential cuts to Social Security and health insurance.
• 👶 It is highlighted that 40% of Medicaid users nationwide are children, making potential cuts a significant issue for many families.
