You can be sure this benefits the wealthy more than supporting health care would.

He and his puppet master must be destroyed.

Presidents propose, but Congress has the final say. Often Presidential budgets are effectively dead on arrival. Of course, the MIC always gets its cuts. If you cannot beat them, own their stocks and at least recoup some of your "investment." :-) I don't think even the GOP side of Congress are going to go on record slashing Medicare and Medicaid right before the Mid-term Elections. They aren't smart but they are not quite that stupid either.

Only a drastic escalatory response from the public will stop Trump's madness: it is time to call for a general strike.

Sure, everyone is going to sign up to stop working and being paid. Good luck with that. You go first and report back how it is going.

I agree it is unlikely now; we will have to wait until the impact hits people already hit hard by inflation. The last time USA and the world saw massive support for working class action was in the 1920s.
