Recently, the paper had an article reporting Rep. Ciscomani’s support for maintaining the Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance, and Pell grants. I commend Rep. Ciscomani for his written support of these programs. However, what really counts is how he votes when a bill cutting these programs comes before the House. It will be interesting to see if he supports his party or all of the people in the district that he represents. This is the same person who was filmed at the border talking about the crisis with people crossing, blaming Biden for the problem. When it came for a vote on a bipartisan border bill, he voted no. Apparently, the border crisis was no longer important. I expect the same thing will happen with any bill making cuts to people who are low income. Tax cuts that benefit the wealthy are more important than funding programs that benefit low-income people such as medical care including prescriptions, food and education.
