Trump's DOA budget includes $800 billion in Medicaid cuts

The notion that the states would somehow do a better job is laughable.

Nothing more than a thinly veiled excuse to cut federal funding for services that help those in need, then hand out more tax cuts to the wealthy.

And middle class, conservative leaning morons who are far more likely​ than not, to find themselves on the short end of that stick, swallow it hook, line and sinker.

What is the argument that Washington D.C. can do a better job meetings the needs of the poor than states can?

Yes, I'm not blaming the people. But it hits at the core of the argument that it's criminal to cut spending for the poor. The assumption that all gov't spending on the poor is good is a false one.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid#Effects



A 2016 NBER paper found that Medicaid has substantial positive long-term effects on the health of recipients: "Early childhood Medicaid eligibility reduces mortality and disability and, for whites, increases extensive margin labor supply, and reduces receipt of disability transfer programs and public health insurance up to 50 years later. Total income does not change because earnings replace disability benefits."[80] The government recoups its investment in Medicaid through savings on benefit payments later in life and greater payment of taxes because recipients of Medicaid are healthier: "The government earns a discounted annual return of between 2 and 7 percent on the original cost of childhood coverage for these cohorts, most of which comes from lower cash transfer payments."[

At least you finally admit that unborn fetuses aren't children yet.

That's a step in the right direction.

Guess I better save the URL for that post.

Take a screenshot maybe.

Thanks again for admitting we've been right and you've been wrong.

For the children.
