7. When Medicaid fails, and people are dying, they want to blame it on the states.

The states need those Federal dollars to run the programs the Federal Government is destroying.
So, the tax burden of the American taxpayer isn't going to go down much (if at all), but the amount of service they get for their tax dollars is going to crater.
All the money is going to pad the bank accounts of the super rich.
It's like a form of ethnic cleansing, but instead it's based on financial need. The poor will get less of everything, and some will die. The rich will get more of everything they want, and enjoy their newfound riches.
And yet we're told that the immigrants are the problem, and that government waste and corruption is the problem.
The only part that's truth is the corruption part. Republicans have institutionalized greed.
It's now their motto: Greed Over People.
