Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but the 11 million losing medicaid is due to red states choosing to “unwind” it. It’s not really an economy thing so much as a deliberate asshole thing.
Right about the medicaid. The child poverty is similar (Democrats expanded Child Tax Credit, Republicans refused to extend it. Presumably because people like OP would make posts like this to complain about Democrats. It’s brutally cynical but effective.)

Everything else is spot on though.
Child poverty too….it was way down with recovery funding from the pandemic that conservatives gleefully killed.

Republicans have also been blocking an increase in the minimum wage and attempts to eliminate student debt.
They had help on that. 8 Democrats voted against workers and with Republicans on the minimum wage increase.
