Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said Tuesday that states will have to figure out on their own how to adjust to proposed reforms to food stamps and health care programs in the congressional Republicans’ “big, beautiful” budget bill.
“We’re going to be good stewards of the taxpayers’ resources,” Johnson, R-La., said to The Daily Signal at a Capitol Hill press conference. “The states will adjust to all of these things.”
The trickiest piece of the House of Representatives’ budget plan is a proposed $880 billion cut over 10 years to the Energy and Commerce Committee, which handles Medicare and Medicaid.
