Medicaid has a program that requires thousands of calls to each recipient to sign them up for "extra" benefits ..I've received thousands of calls at least ten a day to sign up even after I signed up !! This is a waste of spending
West Virginia is strong 💪
NBC is so bias

As of November 2024, there were over 3 million people working for the federal government in the United States. This includes the more than 600,000 employees of the U.S. Postal Service.
The federal government is the largest employer in the United States, employing more people than Amazon, Walmart, or McDonald's.
The number of federal employees has remained relatively stable at around 3 million since the 1960s.
Federal employees work in departments and agencies that are part of the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of government.
The U.S. Postal Service is an independent federal agency that operates similarly to a private business.

How about the Sen, tries living with the poor for a day
F ing A hole. Steeling from the poor to give to the rich.
35:00 how dare that man go on national television and try to convince us that DT is a good man. Define "good", sir, because we have ears that hear and eyes that see. If you wanna get all philosophical, sir, don't forget: a man is known by the company he keeps…
Caroline’s line of bs, regurgitation of republicon’s rhetoric and propaganda. Republicon slight of hand. Trump’s authoritarianism on the move.
NBC, Why don't you report on the fact that what trump is doing is illegal & unconstitutional. This funding has all been put into law by congress & the president doesn't have control of the purse…..The president doesn't have the power to pick & choose which programs get funded, that is the job of Congress!!
I can’t t wait until we default on our debt and everyone of you cupcakes have no where to turn for your handouts.
He's a new boss and should review where the money is going.
