45% cut in foreign aid, and 43% in housing programs: Republicans propose their OWN budget

House Republicans have begun work on their own budget proposal in a bid to weed out ‘unnecessary’ and ‘woke’ spending – a key adviser’s budget proposing a 30% cut to Department of Health programs Health.

President Joe Biden unveils his own budget plan in Philadelphia on Thursday. He hammered Republicans on Social Security and Medicare, and got public pledges from top Republicans not to cut popular programs.

That leaves other “discretionary” programs on the chopping block, with some of the conservative Republicans who made Kevin McCarthy’s presidency possible promising to follow through with politically painful cuts if necessary.

Biden’s White House hit out at Republicans for huddling with former Trump budget chief Russell Vought, and Vought confirmed to The New York Times that he was advising them on cuts to a ‘woke and armed government’. “.

The push comes weeks after House Republicans announced plans to cut “woke waste”.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans are working on a budget plan that will cut funding for a number of national programs, after saying they would not cut Social Security and Medicare disease

‘I’m not saying you can balance on discretionary [spending] alone, he said. “But a work-requirement food stamp program is a much easier sell than premium support,” he said, speaking of a plan to make Medicare beneficiaries pay more.

Vought’s Center for Renewing America has listed some of the cuts that could serve as the basis for a GOP budget plan that must clear the budget panel and pass the House majority.

Among the proposed cuts is a $37 billion, or 29%, cut from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The department “is a key provider of radical gender theory in medicine and infuses critical race theory (CRT) under the guise of ‘health equity’ in its research,” according to the group, taking over the CRT, which has been a target for Republicans including Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

President Joe Biden has hammered Republicans saying they have cuts in store for popular programs and challenging them to produce a budget

The group criticizes HHS for “enacting” so-called “gain of function” research, calling the agency a supporter of “the abortion industry and the transgender medical agenda.”

Other cuts in the plan include a 45% cut in foreign aid, imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients and food stamps, and taking a knife to the budget against – FBI espionage.

This area would see a 50% reduction, with a 43% reduction in housing programs.

Biden also accused Republicans of planning cuts to Medicaid services for the poor.

Wisconsin GOP Senator Rick Scott lambasted Biden in an interview with DailyMail.com last week.

“First of all, the president is a liar,” he said. He said Biden had signed a bill that “cut” $280 billion from Medicare – in reference to provisions allowing the government to negotiate directly with drug companies. The provision was a source of revenue, but did not reduce programs.

“When he was in the Senate, he proposed cutting Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits, everything. So this guy is a hypocrite,” he said.

“What we should be focusing on is: How does the American public put them in a position where financially they are able to get health care themselves,” he said. .

When asked if that meant there were any savings to be made with Medicaid, he replied, “Well look, can people get jobs? The federal government is not there to always give benefits to someone [but to] create an economy where people can live on their own. Listen, I grew up in an HLM, I didn’t wake up every day saying well, I hope I can come back to an HLM. I want to be independent.’
