GOP Plans Massive Cuts to Programs for the Poor
May 14, 2017 By Taegan Goddard
House Republicans just voted to slash hundreds of billions of dollars in health care for the poor as part of their Obamacare replacement. Now, theyre weighing a plan to take the scalpel to programs that provide meals to needy kids and housing and education assistance for low-income families, Politico reports.
Wall Street Journal: Conservative Senate Republicans are weighing faster and steeper cuts to Medicaid that could drop millions of people from coverage and mark the biggest changes to the program in its 52-year history.

One immediately notices Democrats are for social programs kinda like a cultural team effort while Republicans tend to take the every one for oneself approach kinda like social anarchy. i dont mind paying higher taxes for some of the social programs available.
