Take from Medicaid Funding to give tax cuts to the wealthy.
House Passes Budget Resolution Cutting Billions From Medicaid Funding
The Republican bill for the congressional budget narrowly passes the House of Representatives, advancing to the Senate floor.www.ajmc.com
That's the 'DOGE News fan page'
What makes you say that? The House GOP just voted to touch $880,000,000,000 of Medicaid spanding.
That is $2 Trillion dollars over 10 years. Given the fact that Obama and Biden contributed $26 Trillion dollars to the deficit in a matter of 12 years for things like drag shows and DEI pollicies, I'd say that is a real bargain although I would have liked to have seen more. But then I would have heard about cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and kicking little old ladies off Social Security.
$2 additional trillion dollars over 10 years. The deficits are already almost $2T annually.
It is a mapping to the White House press briefing room. You can see it on YouTube if that would help but liberals, conservatives, etc. are now on X.
The graphs about how the deficit will grow with these changes was pretty interesting. Before it was estimated that the deficit will decrease some in the next two years before starting to grow again. Well with these changes, it won't even do that but will continue to grow faster and reach the same levels it was during the COVID spending without there being an actual epidemic to deal with.

You certainly don't seem to be concerned that Obama and Biden spent $26 TRILLION in 12 years. So I'm not sure why you are shocked that the Republicans would propose a $2 Tillion increase over 10 years.
These solutions, if you think about it, kinda work against each other and don't make sense.New Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins Offers a Five-Pronged Strategy to Lower the Cost of Eggs
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has hit the ground running with a five-pronged strategy to c
Is $100 million enough?
Ooo look! Another monopoly controlling prices (likely by using an algorithm) in a geographic area.....is Bird Flu the only culprit?
Cal-Maine Foods, which controls about a fifth of the egg market and sells to Walmart and other large retailers, reported that its revenues jumped to $954 million in the quarter that ended in late November from $523 million from the prior year — an increase of 82 percent. The company said those numbers “were primarily driven by an increase in the net average selling price of shell eggs as well as an increase in total dozens sold.”
The company’s net income surged more than 500 percent, to $218 million, from year-earlier levels, thanks to higher prices, the lower cost of feed and acquisitions of other operators. And prices have shot up even more since the company released its quarterly financial statement.
The egg production industry has consolidated over the last three decades. Cal-Maine has acquired more than two dozen companies since 1989. It and four other large producers control roughly half of the egg market in the United States. The others are privately held and don’t make their financials public. The second largest of the group, Rose Acre Farms, has 17 facilities in seven states across the South and Midwest. Another large producer, Daybreak Foods, supplies eggs to McDonald’s, and Hillandale Farms sells in grocery stores under its own name and as a private label brand. (None of the companies responded to requests for interviews.)
Egg Prices Are Soaring. Bird Flu May Not Be the Only Culprit.
The nation’s biggest egg producer has seen rising revenues and profits. Now some Democrats are calling for an investigation into pricing practices in the industry.www.nytimes.com
We don't have issues with egg prices here, but my wife and I have joked that we'll get a few silkie chickens at some point for pets just because they're fluffy.
