Representative Clark is exactly right - we are a wealthy country led incapably by a president and Congress that will enrich themselves, even if SNAP and Medicaid are cut. It's immoral, and we all have work to do to stop the budget bill's passage.
Tonight, Rep. Katherine Clark got straight to the point on the Capitol steps: Republicans are breaking Medicaid so they can rob it.
