Revisited: Q&A - Just Say No to Slugs

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, so just say not toe slugs. Just say no
to slugs.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Do they continue to spend this lie that Republicans are
eliminating Medicare and Medicaid. Let me be clear. If you
are an able bodied male or female who can go
to work, or you're an illegal alien who is criminally here,
then why should you be getting paid for by tax
payers on Medicare and Medicaid?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Thank you very much for to Congressman Corey Mills. No,
I don't have any particular version to your run of
the mill slug. Yes, I have a strong diversion to
your average able body take advantage of Uncle Sam kind
of slug. And that's because in this instance, Sam, I
am and you are too. And while spending more time
studying the Act than probably some in Congress did, what

(00:45):
has been clear here is the extent to which the
lies have been peddled. Question for you, do you believe
that able bodied people of working age should do at
least twenty hours of anything constructive with through life in
a given week?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Like anything? Doles look at them me going, I mean twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
I'm still fighting the gator. Uh yeah, I do I
believe that. You know, I think you should be doing something,
if you can do something.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Okay, came around.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
I see these people with the signs. Yes, I'm like,
you're standing up, sneakers look pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, you know, yeah, you got a family to fade out. Know,
I get a job if you so, If you do,
if you do, think.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
At least twenty hours of anything constructive other than sit
on a couch and live off of you know, us
tax paying clubs. The noise about Medicaid and snapcuts is
bs under the Big Beautiful Bill Act or the Act
formally known as that, the Medicaid Work Requirements state this
abled bodied adults between the ages of nineteen two sixty

(01:53):
four must work, volunteer, or participate in job training or
educationional activities for at least eighty hours per month or
about twenty hours a week to maintain eligibility.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's it, anything at all.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Get off your stinking couch and just pretend that you're
going to do something constructive and you're still eligible.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
We can't do that.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's taking things away.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
The biggest shame is that they ever got any of
our stuff in the first place. In that case, by
the way, exemptions all over the place, including pregnant women
individuals and disabilities, medically frail, foster youth under twenty six
tribal members. It goes on as for snap requirements, Able
bodied adults without dependents aged eighteen to sixty five must work, volunteer,

(02:40):
participate in job training or educational activities, again at least
twenty hours per week. So the exemptions there. Parents or
household members with dependent children seven are younger. So when
you hear about the fear being spread on the cuts
in these programs, that's what we're talking about here, Perfectly
capable of people who choose not to work, not to volunteer,

(03:01):
not to train for a new job, not to educate themselves,
just to sit there and freeload off of you.
