Republican Mike Flood faced a nasty, angry crown in Columbus Nebraska yesterday, made up of Trump voters who now are living with the slash and burn policies thrust on them by the president. Social Security, Medicaid, and a host of other cuts has affected them bigtime, and so the now realize the big mistake in being shortsighted in their political choices. Well "Hello Joe!" He boldly told you what his policies toward government assistance programs would be under his tenure, you all chose not to listen! But maybe now it is the time to rise up and kick some Republican asses.

1. They may have voted for Trump because having faith in the legal system, they thought he would be checked and balanced

Of course we could’ve told them that wasn’t gonna work. This is what happens when in denial over mistakes.

Most questioners were displeased with the actions of Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, criticizing what they perceived as Flood’s inaction to stop them.

The congressman fielded several questions about proposed cuts to Medicaid and the federal workforce by referencing the national debt. A giant screen over the stage displayed the $36 trillion dollar figure, ticking upward every few seconds.

"Ultimately, where we need to go is to a balanced budget," Flood said in a response to a question about cuts to National Institutes of Health funding.

Boos followed, prompting Flood to ask the crowd, "How can you be against a balanced budget?"
Moments later, a "tax the rich" chant was echoing throughout the auditorium.
