Elon Musk is calling for the removal of the entire US government agency
As part of his push under President Trump, Elon Musk called for the removal of entire government agencies from the federal government, radically cutting spending and restructuring its priorities.

Democrats say they don’t need to directly benefit from the Republican plan to cut taxes and cut spending. The Joint Democrats are opposed to the move to cut federal funds.
The Gottsargens are fresh to feel the stab wounds of losing Medicaid after a management error kicked a family that has been removing Down syndrome for a month and a half, and they are unable to return there again.
The benefits of her 39-year-old son, after a six-week suspension, Shelley Gottsargen, whose benefits of her 39-year-old son, which was restored on February 17, said she was horrible. If Republican-controlled Congressional proposals targeting government health insurance will dramatically cut Medicaid as expected, 69-year-olds still working in social services will be affected. It could be one of the millions of Floridians who receive it.
Gottsargen again deals with the same cutoff of his son’s services, who advanced his verbal skills and provided his verbal support so that he could take the restaurant table onto the bus. Additionally, a slash to Medicaid could mean the end of the 24-hour care that a 90-year-old mother receives at a council facility.
“If it wasn’t, people would really struggle,” a Boynton Beach resident said. “People feel really desperate.”
Democrats continue their attacks
Gottasaghen was part of the February 20 roundtable held by Rep. Lois Frankel, a Democrat from West Palm Beach, held on February 20th. They warn what they mean about the possibility of $2 trillion in federal spending for people on earth, as the new administration says it is aiming for that. It’s departing.
Frankel focused solely on potential Medicaid viscerals in the proposed spending cuts, but U.S. Rep. Sheila Sherfils McCormick, D. West Palm Beach, has seen roughly 9,000 people in her district. Emphasizing the ongoing devastation to federal workers, Officer Debbie Wasser Schultz, D-Weston, highlighted the loss of medical care and food to families and seniors.
Frankel urged voters everywhere to take them to the phone and e-mail their inbox before the devastation began to get full-scale.
“These reckless cuts hurt the most vulnerable — older people, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities give wealthy donors a large tax credit,” Frankel said. “We cannot allow this.”
How many people will be affected?
Medicaid is paying the bill for almost 60% of Florida’s long-term care, according to the Florida Health Care Association. And that end of support or a massive cut means that some nursing homes will be forced to close, meaning there will be fewer choices for all those who need care, and Frankel said.
Medicaid, which provides health care to people less than certain thresholds that change from state to state, is separate from Medicare, the government’s health care for people over the age of 65. According to the latest 2023 state health department statistics, Medicare cards are appearing to people regardless of their income, with over 5 million Floridians participating.
Efforts to reduce government spending have yet to focus on Medicare with the same strength as the discussions about Medicaid. But health advocates say Medicaid cuts can ripple over Medicare services as governments spend through Medicaid support facilities that serve Medicare beneficiaries.
On the other side of the spectrum, Medicaid covered roughly 100,000 births for prenatal care and birth at the state Department of Health’s last available count in 2023. That’s over 42% of new Floridians. According to an analysis of figures from the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, in 2023, around 2.5 million children (over 40%) in Florida would rely on government health insurance for low-income people. It was there. Nearly 290,000 adults with disabilities also rely on it, Frankel said.
The needs of these people will not simply disappear even if Medicaid is reduced, panelists agreed. Hospital emergency rooms are feeling more strained and crowded without the continued care Medicaid providing.
“When there’s nothing more than a “plan concept” to replace it, to arbitrarily shut people down, it can hurt many people,” Institute, non-profit research and policy think tank .
Sylinger was reminiscent of the president’s debate moment on September 10th. Now, President Donald Trump said he has a “plan concept” to replace the state’s current state of health care.
Felicia Bruce, president of the Florida Retired American Association, has increased the likelihood that residents of Medicaid-funded nursing homes will be forced to live with adult children or simply die without medical care. . Frankel emphasized that those eligible for Medicaid have no assets left.
“Some cuts don’t heal, and the cuts they’re talking about are the kind of people killing,” Bruce said.
Now loss of work and service
Frankel’s Round Table focused on what would happen if a cut was made, but Shelfilus McCormick said, “How the federal workforce layoffs happening now are happening?” I emphasized. This is an effort led by billionaire Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s new partner, and has already had massive claims and serious failures with essential workers.
“District 20 is home to more than 9,000 federal workers who provide critical care to veterans and continue running the airport,” the lawmaker wrote in a statement. “Now, many of them have lost their critical workforce rights due to recent executive orders targeting federal workers. This is unacceptable.”
Wasserman Schultz cut the looming government cuts from the poorest to the wealthiest people at her gathering on February 20th.
“Republicans steal health care from the millions of people who need and rely on this care, and they do it all, so they’re billionaires, billionaires. , we can deliver bigger tax cuts to big businesses,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.
Polls show Trump’s popularity has declined, and even Republicans hear pushbacks
The constant drumbeat of cost-cutting headlines may shorten Trump’s honeymoon at the White House. An Emerson College survey of US voters issued Wednesday found Trump’s approval rating fell by one point to 48%, with 42% registering disapprovals.
The change does not reflect any significant changes, but Emerson’s polls said in their analysis that the survey’s “research findings suggest generally unpopular domestic and foreign policy ideas.”
However, two other polls released on February 20 show that the American voters surveyed have stepped over Trump’s authority, and the news of cost cuts is that they It shows that it is not news about a decline in consumer prices that you would like to hear. The CNN/SSRS recorded a 52% disapproval rating and 47% positive president, but in the Washington Post/Ipsos poll it was underwater with 45% approval and 53% disapproval.
It’s not just people from the Blue Region that are speaking out.
This week, social media exploded with video of Georgia Republican US Rep. Rich McCormick being booed and jealed at City Hall. Participants present revealed their misfortunes with what they called Musk’s “chainsaw approach” in order to reduce spending amid other complaints.
Trump posted on his social media platform to fire back criticism that democratic opposition is “run by broken losers” who lack direction “in a madness.”
“They lost their confidence and spirit – they lost their heart!” he wrote. “We will win a great victory over our country and make America great again. It’s already happening, and it’s bigger and better than ever before!”
