Trump team vetting more Project 2025 authors for top administration jobs: report
Donald Trump (AFP)


Russ Vought, one of the plan's chief architects and the author of its "comprehensive policy guide for the next conservative U.S. president," has already been vetted by Trump's transition team for a Cabinet-level position and has been meeting with top advisers at Mar-a-Lago, reported ABC News.

Vought served as director of the Office of Management and Budget in Trump's first administration, and sources say he has been discussed as a candidate for that same role or for a top White House post that focuses on economic policy.

His Center for Renewing American is listed as a member of Project 2025's advisory board, and Vought was deeply involved in drafting the plan's playbook for the first 180 days of a Trump administration.


Sources said the Trump transition team was considering other candidates with ties to Project 2025, including authors and several contributors, including Gene Hamilton, who called for a sweeping "top-to-bottom overhaul" of the Justice Department" and is now being considered for a top legal role there.

Project 2025 contributor Reed Rubinstein is also under consideration for the next general counsel for the Department of Treasury,


Trump's team has already announced Brendan Carr, who authored a chapter on his plans for the Federal Communications Commission, to oversee the regulation of the nation's airwaves, and former ICE director and plan contributor Tom Homan to oversee mass deportations as "border czar."

Former Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller returns as his deputy chief of staff for policy, and his America First Legal had originally been listed among the advisory board members for Project 2025 until he asked to be removed due to public criticism of the plan.

And further to that....

Project 2025 contains several proposed changes to Medicare and Medicaid, framing the programs as being largely responsible for the United States’ annual budget deficit, which currently stands at $1.27 trillion for 2024.

“In essence, our deficit problem is a Medicare and Medicaid problem,” the Project 2025 proposal states.

What Project 2025 says about Medicaid
Medicaid is a free or low-cost national public health insurance program designed to provide coverage to eligible low-income adults, pregnant women, children, older adults and people with disabilities. As of March 2024, more than 82 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid.

Project 2025 calls for Medicaid’s federal funding to be converted from its current model — the federal government paying a fixed percentage of states’ Medicare costs — to a model in which the federal government pays a block grant (or fixed amount) to each state, regardless of their specific costs.

Block grants have been floated several times over the years. Such proposals are typically “designed to fail to keep pace with expected enrollment and/or health care cost growth in order to deeply cut federal Medicaid spending over time, relative to current law,” according to a report on Project 2025 from Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

In 2017, a Medicaid block grant plan proposed by Republicans would have slashed Medicaid’s federal funding by more than 25% over 10 years and 30% over 20 years, according to a Congressional Budget Office projection.
...
Project 2025 also proposes adding a work requirement, “similar to what is required in other welfare programs,” as well as raising premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Eligibility should be redesigned, too, the plan reads, “to serve the most vulnerable and truly needy and eliminate middle-income to upper-income Medicaid recipients."

One recent attempt to impose a Medicaid work requirement led to thousands of beneficiaries losing coverage.

I repeat, you're a fucking clown.

Where does the Project 2025 document say that? That is your claim, literally cite where it says it in the document.

Project 2025 is claimed to cut social security and Trump is all aboard, correct? Then why did Trump say he'd cut taxes on social security benefits if he's cutting the program?

Again, where is this in the document? The problem with any healthcare in the US is that it is too fucking expensive, no other country pays as much for drugs or procedures or scans as the US does and that needs to stop.

Nobody is proposing killing children. A child is an organism between birth and adulthood. If it's still in the uterus, it's a fetus.

It's a human being, you can't run from this.

It could be classified as a human being, depending on how you define "human being" (which is a particularly woolly term). Under many definitions, however, a human being effectively means post-birth, in which case a fetus is not a human being.

I'm not running from anything. I have no problem accepting that a human fetus is human; an organism with the potential to be a human person. The fact you want to describe insensate bundles of cells with all sorts of terminologies implying faculties and capabilities they don't have leads me to suspect you are the one running from something.
