House GOP Weighs Austerity Measures, New Restrictions on Medicaid and SNAP

HeadlineNov 19, 2024

On Capitol Hill, House Republicans are considering spending caps and new work requirements for recipients of Medicaid, SNAP nutrition assistance and other social programs. That’s according to The Washington Post, which reports the changes would impact at least 70 million low-income people. The proposed cuts come after Trump promised to slash the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% — an annual tax cut worth $48 billion to the 100 largest U.S. corporations.
