As budget negotiations intensify, House Republicans propose raising the SALT deduction cap from $10K to $30K for those earning under $400K, aiming to boost middle-class and small business revenue before the current limit expires on Dec 31, 2025. This move, part of the GOP tax bill, could drive economic expansion but faces scrutiny amid heated Medicaid reform debates. Critics decry potential Medicaid cuts, with Democrats spotlighting vulnerable groups, including wheelchair-bound protesters. However, claims of slashing benefits are misleading; the focus is on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Medicaid’s inefficiencies, tied to universal healthcare ambitions, are exacerbated by lobbyists for Big Pharma and insurance, rendering the system unsustainable. The Congressional Budget Office’s inconsistent scoring fuels distrust. Media narratives suggesting cuts target the needy obscure efforts to enforce work requirements for able-bodied recipients. The GOP insists Medicare remains untouched. America’s habit of delaying fiscal reckoning, like zero-down furniture deals, underscores the urgency of addressing Medicaid’s flaws. These budget talks, balancing tax relief and entitlement reform, are critical for economic stability and supporting real American families, demanding close public attention.

- You will hear them cry about Medicaid cuts. How dare you say “you have to get a job”? They are working out the budget. The democrats get religion when Trump is doing something, and they find everyone they can in a wheelchair and bring them into Congress. 25 arrested, they are in wheelchairs. We are not about to cut Medicare. The American people know that we only deal with things on that day. Remember when you bought the furniture $0 down, 0% and no payments for 5 years. And at the end of the 5 years will be that day. The way America has been conditioned in this country to avoid that day. We know that Medicaid is broken. And Medicaid is universal medicine, you always hear about medicaid expansion. Every year was to stretch it out to get universal medical care. The lobbyists are working to get universal medical care to work, big pharma to work and insurance to work. It is so large that it cannot work. There are zero times where the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) would score something truthful. If we don’t take the approach to cut the waste fraud and abuse in social security, medicare, medicaid. But the media wants you to believe that they are cutting for those who most need the healthcare benefits. So what they are trying to do is say if you want this medical care that you can’t do something, get a job.
- We have to pay attention to what is happening in these budget negotiations.
- The House GOP tax bill calls for a SALT deduction cap of $30K for most. Republicans inch closer to a SALT cap compromise. SALT stands for State and Local Tax. Currently there is a $10K limit on federal deduction on state and local taxes. Will expire Dec 31, 2025. House republicans want to raise that to $30K for those making less than $400K or less. This is important with small businesses and real america families. If you are paying state and local taxes up to $10K it is a deduction on your federal taxes. If Dec 31, 2025 comes around and this is not in there it will go away. The House GOP wants to raise this to $30K and it would explode expansion in the middle class with revenue to spend. It is a vicious cycle.
