Republicans can't meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says The House GOP has ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid funding, to cut $880 billion in a bill to advance Trump's agenda.

This is what we knew all along.

Supporting programs that provide millions of Americans, including children, women, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, with health care, or a tax cut for the wealthiest.

The Republicans are choosing the latter.

Statement graphic that reads: “Donald Trump is stealing from taxpayers to fund tax cuts for billionaires, and House Republicans are celebrating. Trump is illegally taking money from child care, veterans, community health centers, police, firefighters, and schools — all bipartisan funding for the American people. “The consequences of the Republicans’ betrayal will be swift: higher costs for parents, cuts for first responders, no school lunches for hungry kids, families and veterans without housing, homes without heat, and businesses unable to meet payroll. “This is all part of Donald Trump’s plot to enrich himself and his billionaire cronies while leaving everyday Americans to foot the bill.
