Matt Maddock criticizes state government spending and welfare programs in recent social media posts
State Representative Matt Maddock has taken to social media to voice concerns about government spending practices and welfare programs. In a series of posts on September 22, 2025, Maddock questioned the allocation of public funds and the perceived impact on workers.
In his first post at 17:37 UTC, Maddock drew an analogy between workplace budgeting and state expenditures: "If your boss gives you 100k to hire another employee but instead you decide to lease 20 new cars for your co-workers, what do you call this? Cuz this is essentially what our state gov is doing."
Later that day, at 18:12 UTC, he commented on food delivery services and their connection to welfare recipients: "Wonder why you see so many home delivery commercials? It’s cuz workers now pay for food delivery to ppl on welfare. Get it now?"
At 18:57 UTC, Maddock posted a third message containing only a link: "https://t.co/XJkCjx66oC".
Maddock's remarks reflect ongoing debates in Michigan regarding fiscal responsibility and public assistance programs. As a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, he has frequently raised concerns about budget allocations and the effectiveness of government-funded services.
