The Cruelty Budget
This episode examines how political rhetoric about “fraud, waste, and abuse” has reshaped public perceptions of programs like Medicaid, SNAP, disability benefits, housing assistance, and Social Security. By looking beyond the stereotypes and focusing on the real people who rely on these programs, it explores how budget debates often reduce human beings to statistics, turning neighbors, families, seniors, and children into line items on a spreadsheet while obscuring the true consequences of policy decisions.
