July 4th BETRAYAL: Trump to SIGN "Big, Beautiful" Budget, Kick 17 MILLION People Off Medicaid

The Josh Lafazan Show on YouTube - Episode 148

Welcome to The Josh Lafazan Show! In today’s episode, we’re exposing a devastating betrayal in Washington that threatens the very fabric of our nation. As we approach July 4th, a holiday meant to celebrate unity and independence, we need to take a hard look at a Republican-backed bill that’s about to make life harder for millions of Americans. This bill cuts crucial programs like health care and food assistance, leaving the most vulnerable at even greater risk. 🏚️🚨

This isn’t just bad policy — it’s a fundamental betrayal of the values we celebrate on July 4th: unity, care for one another, and equal opportunity for all. This bill doesn’t just affect some — it’s attacking the very heart of what America stands for. 🇺🇸

In this episode, I’ll break down the devastating consequences of this bill in five key segments:

🏥 Segment 1: Health Care Cuts – The Attack on Medicaid and CHIP

• Medicaid and CHIP together provide essential health care for millions — from children to seniors to those with disabilities. The cuts in this bill will strip away these lifelines, leaving millions without access to care.
  
   
• Pregnant women, children, seniors, and people with disabilities will be hit hardest. This is a direct attack on those who need help the most.
  
   
• Hospitals will reduce services in underserved areas, and prescription drug costs will rise. This will lead to worse health outcomes and higher costs for the entire system.
  
   

🍞 Segment 2: Devastating Cuts to Food Assistance – A Threat to Families

• The SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) cuts will reduce food benefits for 40 million Americans, making it harder for families to put food on the table.
  
   
• Children, seniors, and rural communities will be disproportionately affected by these cuts.
  
   
• This will create a permanent cycle of poverty, hurt children’s development, and strain local food banks already stretched thin.
  
   

💔 Segment 3: The Broader Impact on Vulnerable Americans

• This bill attacks the most vulnerable in almost every area: from housing assistance to education and job training.
  
   
• Rural communities and low-income families will suffer the most, with even fewer resources to help lift themselves out of poverty.
  
   
• It will worsen income inequality, leaving the wealthy to benefit from tax cuts, while the most vulnerable are left behind.
  
   

💸 Segment 4: The Economic Fallout – Cutting Investment in the Middle Class and Ballooning the Deficit

• Cuts to education, public infrastructure, and job training will weaken the foundation for middle-class success. This will stifle economic growth and create more barriers for people to build better futures.
  
   
• At the same time, tax breaks for the wealthy will add to the deficit, leaving future generations to pick up the tab. The $4 trillion deficit forecasted will only add to the national debt.
  
   
• This short-term relief for the rich will harm the middle class and slow down long-term growth. We need to invest in the middle class, not leave them behind.
  
   

⚖️ Segment 5: A Betrayal of America’s Values – Where We Are Now

• July 4th should celebrate unity, freedom, and the American Dream, but this bill shows deep divisions in our country. It prioritizes corporate interests over the needs of the people.
  
   
• This bill isn’t just bad policy; it’s a fundamental betrayal of the values we hold dear — values of unity, equality, and justice for all.
  
   
• Instead of coming together to strengthen our country, this bill divides us and leaves millions behind. We must stand together to demand change.
  
   

💥 What We Need Instead

• We need a budget that prioritizes investing in the middle class — education, job training, infrastructure, and health care, while ensuring the deficit is managed responsibly.
  
   
• Tax cuts for the wealthy are not the answer. We need policies that create real economic opportunities for everyone, not policies that further divide us and hurt those most in need.
  
   
• This bill is a recipe for disaster, and we must vote out those responsible in the 2026 midterms. Let’s fight for a future where all Americans have access to health care, food security, and economic opportunity.
  
   

🔴 Conclusion

This bill is a betrayal of the American people, and it’s time for us to stand up and demand better. Shame on every Republican who voted for this bill — and it’s tim
