The big brutal budget stands to decimate the lives of 11 million people by gutting Medicaid. We are all so tired of this being referred to as fraud, waste and abuse. 11 million lives are not fraud, waste and abuse. One in four Oklahomans are not examples of fraud, waste and abuse. They are our fellow Oklahomans. 49% of those on Medicaid are children. Children aren’t examples of fraud, waste and abuse. Seniors, the disabled , those with mental illness are also not examples of fraud, waste and abuse! This budget also takes food away from those below the poverty line. Do you see the poor as examples of fraud, waste and abuse?! All of this while giving giant tax cuts to billionaires, billionaire corporations and millionaires. That is fraud, waste and abuse. Growing the deficit by 4 trillion all to give billionaires, billionaire corporations and millionaires huge tax cuts is wrong! Giving a military parade to the tune of 14 million dollars is an example of waste and abuse. Giving government contracts that have enriched Musk to reward him for helping to gut the federal work force is an example of fraud, waste and abuse. Using tax dollars for a Musk golden dome military project to the tune of 175 billion dollars and maybe trillions for a project that will decades while starving people and letting people die is an example of fraud, waste and abuse. Pretending there are those on Medicaid that are undeserving of medical insurance is morally wrong! Have you looked at your fb page. If not, your staffer should because comment after comment reflects people aren’t buying the fraud, waste and abuse false narrative. You do not have support from constituents. Should this pass, and we all hope it won’t, you will be held accountable for the suffering you supported! You and Republican colleagues will own this! This is not about right vs left. We are also tired of that false narrative. You will not convince us to turn on eachother. This is about the haves vs the have nots! This is about right vs wrong! We vote No!
