Yes Snap and Medicaid will get slashed.
Yes taxes on the upper 5% will get slashed.

Expect a lot of other things that benefit the 95% to get slashed.

But overall spending won't get slashed. It's going to be increased. Huge new contracts are already being written or signed. The agencies that audit are being dismantled. Billions and Trillions for the taking. Pigs at the trough. The 95% will be paying for it for 100 years.....
