OMG the worst one is our Assemblyman #RobSwearingen. He has a high school diploma and has been in office forever. He was the PRESIDENT OF THE TAVERN LEAGUE. He fought hard to get rid of masks. I do not doubt that people died to benefit taverns.

Health care is a real slippery slope in northern WI because of him. Emergency care in his district is really getting dicey because of him. We have a number of hospitals, & emergency rooms. But when there are no cardiologists for example, you don't want to be having a heart attack.

My neighbor was having a heart attack for about 5 days before they could finagle a bed for her, 4 hours away by ambulance. That area just got hit by a massive tornado and is probably not going to be an option for a while. There are seldom beds open in Wausau or Marshfield. He voted for this.

So he wants to cut food stamps and get rid of regulation. Sounds yummy. When people can eat, maybe they can get ecoli too. I think that’s the bang for the buck he is referring to? 2 for 1 deal? Really 3 for 1 because if you get sick you won’t be able to afford to see a doctor.

Let's say "rewrite the farm bill." John Oliver did a very enlightening segment on the farm bill. We want to support family farms, sustainable agriculture, more varieties of crops. No corporate subsidies.

A large majority of their base uses programs like SNAP. What really needs to happen is that representatives need to have their salaries equal to the average middle class person. I guarantee a majority of them would be middle class people actually aware of middle/lower class issues.

So not wanting to feed those children? Huh they R seriously Fcked up! Since when do we starve children? MAGA gonna bitch about that also? I knew a few collecting that help. How many are months away if Trump costs you that job from needing a helping hand?

And then they'll work to get harsh sentencing guidelines for shoplifting so that the people going hungry increase the profits of the private prison industry. Our society is pretty predictable.

While he's digging through the papers, maybe he can get Congress and Senate members to pay back their loans that were (nearly choking)forgiven that they took during covid. Talk about welfare!

Republicans: “Fuck all ya’ll. Well, except the billionaires and corporations who need more tax cuts and government subsidies. But the poors and the plebs and the veterans… fuck all ya’ll.”

Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany makes $174,000 per year as a member of congress, not including the free lunches and dinners and travel he gets. Happy to have $8 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Want to cut mandatory spending like food stamps. Satanic Republican.

The plan: Mass deportation - cut snap= lots of low minimum wage available that will force the people cut from snap to work. Bringing austerity (measures can include cutting public sector salaries, social protection financing, and safety net expenditures) to U.S.

I live in Wisconsin, this man supposedly represents me. I fucking hate him, he’sa bigoted and awful human being that his colleagues say is abrasive, disruptive, uncooperative and generally unpleasant. He’s really, really terrible and does not get enough credit for it.

First they got rid of the unions. Cutting all the safety net programs guarantees a permanent underclass . That assures the oligarchs of available underpaid workers.

God knows they don’t earn them.. voting on issues is done on a voluntary basis.. Perhaps voters should look up records before re electing those who do Jack but collect a salary & participate in inside trading. Perhaps media should start covering this issue come election time.

Why, AGAIN!, is their first order of business cutting necessaries while giving the rich (rinse and repeat) yet another tax cut? They were enabled in this country the opportunity to make out sized profits.

And give the billionaires tax breaks and reduce regulations……. So they can be even greedier!! O, and eliminate Education Dept. so the rich can use school vouchers!! Yes, but cut food stamps!! Way to go USA!!!!

#MaryMiller refuses to meet with her own constituents but has time to sneak in town to meet with the #FarmBureau to fill their ears with lies! We are holding our own town hall in #Illinois without her! Please spread the word! #MAGA #lies

It's only just started, people. All the GOP congresspeople are lining up with their wildest dreams about cutting social programs. Trump's henchmen will make it happen to appease him. This was a gift from 77 million Americans and 10 million absentee voters.

Right! And if you think they plan on giving up power, you better start thinking why Trump is putting loyalist in his admin who will do as he say. He realize that Supreme Court will protect him and since they said he has immunity, all bets for democracy are off!

Sadly this is my UN”representative” and he is either very stupid or thinks we are He also will never be accountable because his district is so RED he can do whatever he wants

Confirms—Republicans love the rich. No talk from Rep. Tiffy about not giving the wealthy another tax cut. FAFO time for those white working class people and the poor?

He needs to check the % of people in his district that are receiving assistance. My parents (middle class college educated life long republicans) were briefly on food stamps when I was young. Cuts like that will affect a broad swath of the voting population.

Yeah he's getting real fucking excited about cutting support for poor people there. What a putz. And aGAAIIN with the "let the job creators loose" bullshit! This guy is a state-of-the-art GOP slime bag, circa 2001.

That would not only hurt the poor who rely on SNAP to live, but also the entire food industry. Also, I'm not sure how a lot of big box store and fast food employees will be able to make ends meet since those jobs don't pay enough to cover groceries on top of other necessary bills.
