Bannon Warns Trump and MuskThere’s ‘A Lot of MAGAs on Medicaid’ and They ‘Can’t Take a Meat Axe To It’
"Steve Bannon offered a warning to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Thursday, saying Medicaid is a “complicated” program to cut.
Trump tapped Musk to lead the “Department of Government Efficiency,” a roving group that has gone from department to department ostensibly to cut costs by laying off personnel and freezing money already been appropriated by Congress. The moves have prompted a wave of lawsuits and a series of rebukes from judges.
On Thursday’s War Room, Bannon – who has long advocated for addressing federal deficits – said there appears to be “confusion and mayhem” in Washington. Musk has pledged to shave $2 trillion off the federal budget, which is running at a deficit of about $1.8 trillion. Such a cut would be massive considering federal spending totaled $6.9 trillion in 2024. More than $600 billion of that went to Medicaid – a government health insurance program for individuals with low incomes."
