House Republicans say adopting work requirements for federal entitlement programs and putting caps on federal spending could help balance the budget over the next decade.
GOP lawmakers are unlikely to release their official budget proposal for weeks, but aides stress that “everything is on the table” outside of raising taxes or cutting Social Security and Medicare.
“These cuts would be so large that it would require the equivalent of ending all nondefense appropriations and eliminating the entire Medicaid program just to get to balance,” the group wrote in a recent white paper. “This means cutting funding for the woke and weaponized bureaucrats that received massive increases under the $1.7 trillion omnibus,” said Rep. Chip Roy, Texas Republican.
Republicans have long argued that able-bodied adults without dependents should work in exchange for receiving welfare benefits, especially with nearly 11 million job openings across the U.S. Under the proposal being weighed by House Republicans, able-bodied adults between 19 and 49 would be required to work at least 80 hours per month to receive Medicaid. Excluded from the work requirements would be Medicaid recipients who are pregnant, have children, or have a disability preventing them from being able to work.
