The American people will need to be educated on this fact. Otherwise, they will see nothing and believe that Democrats are only yelling "Wolf!".
How much sense does it make for Democrats run on the issue that Republicans are cutting their Medicaid if nothing is going to happen until after the next election?
I don't think a lot of people on Medicaid are aware of that fact.

will need to educate the voters while running for the next election that republicans chose to enact Medicaid cuts after the next election and that they will undo what they did. If voters arent paying attention though they wont get that message.

We also need to be pushing for a Paygo waiver by end of 2025 or Medicare will get an automatic cut of 4%. trump got a Paygo waiver in 2017 after his original tax cut.

(1,564 posts)Every Dem who gets to speak on the air waves in any format including radio needs to set the record straight and get this message out. It goes much further against peoples' psyche to know how deviously cuts to Medicaid and other benefits are going to be enacted against them so as to blame Democrats when enforcement takes place. Every PBS, NPR, MSNBC programming Exec ought put together at least two or three specials about the deviousness of the Trump regime. And the tax cut to billionaires ought to be linked to the delayed enforcement ploy. For example, the enactment of the cuts are necessary because of the budget deficit that should be linked to the tax cuts.
