Excerpt:
With a March 14 government funding deadline fast approaching, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is promising that Republicans will not be cutting entitlements like Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
However, Johnson told CNN that the budget plan narrowly passed by the House on Wednesday will seek to implement President Trump’s agenda to root out waste and inefficiencies.
Johnson explained that finding efficiencies in entitlement programs would require something other than simply cutting benefits to those who are truly in need.
He pointed to strong public support for work requirements as a way to ensure taxpayer money isn’t going to “29-year-old males sitting on their couches playing video games.”
Medicaid is for single mothers with small children who are just trying to make it.
It’s not for 29-year-old males sitting on their couch playing video games.
We’re going to find those guys, and we will SEND them back to work! pic.twitter.com/3n0egvEkxO
