Title: US agriculture secretary says Medicaid recipients can replace deported farm work
Post by: RE on Jul 09, 2025, 10:57 PM
What planet is El Trumpo living on?  Who could possibly take an idea like this seriously?  How many truly "able bodied" people do you think are receiving Medicaid bennies?  Even if they are technically able bodied, they're probably obese couch potatoes in their 50s who wouldn't last a day picking lettuce.

So making yet another U-turn, now he says he'll let the farmers be in charge?  What does that mean?  Who are all the new ICE Gestapo agents he is hiring round up to deport?

It gets more surreal every day.
