Jim Costa, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 21st district since 2005, recently expressed his views on social welfare programs through a series of tweets. Costa, who has been active in politics for several decades, shared his opinions on Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
On March 5, 2025, Jim Costa stated that "Taking away Medicaid from kids, families, and seniors won’t make life more affordable." This tweet reflects his stance against reducing Medicaid support as a means to achieve affordability.
Shortly after, he tweeted another message emphasizing the importance of SNAP benefits. On the same day, he posted that "Taking away SNAP from kids, families and seniors won’t make life more affordable." Costa reiterated his opposition to cutting these essential services.
Later that day, Costa made it clear where he stands regarding potential cuts to major social programs. He asserted that ".@HouseDemocrats will never support cuts to Medicaid or Social Security just to give handouts to billionaire donors." This statement underscores his commitment to protecting these programs from budget reductions aimed at benefiting wealthy individuals.
