In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how the Big Beautiful Bill reveals the dangerous cycle of government dependency and unchecked bureaucratic growth. As Democrats frame the bill as cruel, Professor Giordano breaks down how programs like Medicaid and SNAP have ballooned far beyond their original intent, now cover nearly 1 in 5 Americans. With new work and education requirements for able-bodied adults sparking outrage, this episode dives into the fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing these programs. Even Republicans are hesitant to introduce real reforms for fear of backlash from the American people. He explains how Republicans must go on offense to win the narrative war and restore the American values of personal responsibility, limited government, and true compassion.
Episode Highlights:
- The explosive growth of Medicaid and SNAP: from safety nets to permanent entitlements
- What GAO reports reveal about fraud, abuse, and hundreds of billions in wasted taxpayer dollars
- Why Republicans must control the narrative and defend work requirements as moral and necessary
