$6 billion spending cut

The $6 billion spending cut on medicaid and food stamps was passed. It was a republican idea that Obama decided to allow and accept. As a republican myself, I am not financially in a high stature. My family is on the lower end of the middle class. But, I feel that this budget cut will be beneficial. The medicaid provides medical services to lower income, and even illegal aliens. To me, that is not right. I understand that America tries to provide many beneficial services to illegal aliens and those in poverty, but it should be limited. If the economy is down, like it is, then we should be helping those LEGAL in our country who are struggling. I feel that the Illegal aliens should be one of our last topics of concern, and that the legal American's should be first priority. That is why I agree with this bill that has passed in order to save money for things needed to bring the American economy back up.
