Brianne Pfannenstiel reports:
Republican U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks sits on the Energy and Commerce committee, which was tasked with finding $880 billion in cuts to programs it oversees, including Medicaid, over the next 10 years.
And U.S. Reps. Zach Nunn and Randy Feenstra sit on the Agriculture Committee, which was instructed to find $230 billion in cuts, including overhauling SNAP, a program that helps 42 million Americans pay for food.
Republicans have said the cuts are necessary to put a check on government overspending by curbing waste and abuse, as well as to make room for an extension of Trump’s signature 2017 tax cuts.
