Republicans cut Medicare by $500 billion to pay Trump’s crypto billionaire donors: Follow the money

The Congressional Budget Office has concluded that the failure to cut spending to match tax cuts requires mandated cuts of $500 billion from Medicare. Go back and read that sentence again. It refers to MEDICARE, not Medicaid. The current Republican tax bill could cut $500 billion from Medicare — ‘This bill just gets more and more cruel’. - Robert Hubbell

Follow the money to see how crypto billionaires get richer while you lose your Medicare

Crypto investors spent tens of millions on Republican campaigns

"During the 2024 election, though, crypto investors spent tens of millions on Republican campaigns. Trump, who never saw a quid pro quo he didn’t love, changed his tune, embracing crypto-friendly policies. After his victory, he followed through by appointing venture capitalist and Elon Musk crony David Sacks as a White House crypto czar.

Another reason Trump flip-flopped on crypto is that his family figured out how to cash in. Following the election, Trump squandered some of the goodwill he had built up with the crypto industry when he and his wife Melania launched memecoins — essentially valueless crypto confidence games — that both surged in value, making the Trumps billions (but undermining the credibility of crypto in the process). That came after his two adult sons, Eric and Don Jr, launched their own crypto company during the campaign called World Liberty Financial. Boosting crypto as president, then, allows Trump and his family to profit directly from his public office." - Noah Berlatsky in Public Notice

Musk's ally given power to halt tax refunds and Social Security checks

"Tom Krause will become the financial assistant secretary of the Treasury Department, two sources with knowledge of the matter told the Washington Post, and replace 35-year veteran David Lebryk, who resigned after telling Krause his demand to stop payments on foreign aid was illegal and refused to comply.

The Musk ally now has control over the Bureau of Fiscal Service, which disburses more than $5 trillion in annual payments for Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds and thousands of other programs and agencies – all of which Musk demanded on social media should be unilaterally halted as illegal." - Raw Story

Billionaires plunder your social security to give themselves more tax cuts

Musk to decide the fate of your Social Security and Medicare

"If you rely on Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid, it’s time to panic. If you care about your personal data – like your Social Security number or banking information – it’s also time to panic.

Thanks to President Donald Trump and the permissive Republican Party, billionaire weirdo Elon Musk and his band of random techies have likely accessed your most private information and have their disreputable mitts on the faucet from which vital government payments flow.

I’m guessing you didn’t vote for Musk to be given free rein over computer systems throughout the federal government that are normally handled by highly trained people who’ve cleared thorough background checks. Well, tough luck. Trump’s in charges and things like “rules” and “norms” and “laws” are for losers." - USA Today

Takeaway: Call your MAGA rep to demand they stop Trump's crypto scam to rob your Medicare to give tax cuts to crypto billionaires.
