Well, we all are going to die' says Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)
Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst is the latest Republican to face an angry crowd of constituents, sparring with town hall attendees over President Donald Trump’s signature piece of legislation.
Constituents on Friday gathered in Butler County, Iowa, to hear Ernst defend the Trump administration’s work, including efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency and Republicans’ congressional priorities.
But when a constituent questioned Ernst about the reconciliation bill, things became heated. The woman, who said she had previously emailed Ernst’s office with her concerns, argued the bill’s proposed cuts seemed neither “compassionate” nor “fiscally responsible.” She accused Ernst of supporting a “tax shelter” for the wealthy.
As the audience applauded the woman, she continued, expressing concerns about the bill’s proposed cuts to SNAP benefits and Medicaid spending. Ernst said those who would lose Medicaid were not currently eligible for Medicaid.
“You are arguing — when you’re arguing about illegals that are receiving Medicaid benefits, 1.4 million, 1.4 million they’re not — they are not eligible so they will be coming off,” Ernst said. One audience member could then be heard shouting, “People are going to die.”
“Well, we all are going to die,” Ernst responded.
Audience members gasped and booed the senator, but Ernst seemed unbothered.

Such an answer to everything, isn't it, Joni.
Whatever shit fallout from the Trump tarriffs... "well, we are all going to die."
Whatever obscene degrees of corruption and grift.... "well, we are all going to die."
Whomever has been working hard labor here as a migrant, doing needed work for low wages, and is now suddenly ripped from family and flung back to their country of origin... "well, we are all going to die."

Illegals do not get Medicaid! They get paid in cash and they buy stuff in cash. And they certainly aren’t even going to apply for Medicaid (which they can’t get) lest they be carted off to the Sudan. And they won’t go to hospitals now I bet for emergency care because of the same thing.
These assholes lie at will. And no one pushes back.

R12, that is a California state program funded by California state taxes. It has nothing to do with Medicaid and is not federally funded. If the voters of California have a problem with it they can take it up with their representatives, but for the rest of us that is totally irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the reconciliation bill.
Nice try, though. Troll.

R18, thanks for clarifying, I figured CA was trying to do some good here, but my post still stands—even in liberal CA, if I were undocumented/illegal, I wouldn’t do anything to out myself in these times. I wonder how CA will safeguard anonymity—thinking of ICE busting down the doors (or suing) to get records of people enrolled in this program.

The problem is that it's been a one-way class war. The Democrats have to stop fucking around and start waging the other side of the class war. Start by admitting that the rich have a completely fuck you attitude toward the entire working class and the poor and go from there. Stop pretending that it's really just a few bad rich people and a few bad Republicans around Trump. There is an entire class, and an entire party devoted to fucking over everybody who isn't rich, and an entire party that believes the best thing we can do about the old, the sick, and the poor is kill them. Wage a full on Fuck the Rich campaign and stop pretending we all need to come together. We ain't fucking coming together!

Democracy seems to get periodiclly taken over by capitalists who just buy their way in thrrough influence. They get people like this woman or a Trump type elected through their influence then have them do their bidding.. I believe we need a new way to choose candidates that circumnavigates the current selection process for officeholders. One that doesn't involve legalized bribery like citizens united which allows massive campaign contributions that are really bribes. Maybe a lottery combined with a mental health exam for the chosen one.

[quote] Maybe a lottery combined with a mental health exam for the chosen one.
The funny thing is that was once upon a time, as in back in the ancient world, but at one point that was a distinction between democracies and republics. Democracies chose office holders by lottery. There were some age restrictions, and some other things defining "citizens" in good standing, but generally any citizen could wake up one day and find that he's a magistrate or a legislator. We think of elections as the most important thing in a democracy, but that actually was a thing in republics, the idea that citizens would choose their leaders from the "best" people rather than some luck of the draw.
It survives in juries, but nowhere else in our system. I wouldn't go all in for it, but I wouldn't mind if we could somehow incorporate that idea into our system somehow. There are definitely dangers in giving any joe schmoe power. But maybe 10 congressional representatives could be chosen by lot, just to inject some of that random citizen energy into our deeply corrupt process.
