John,

A “fiscal commission” to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and more might not be some far-flung right-wing pipe-dream. It’s getting real traction in Congress right now and we need to fight back.

Coming out of this week’s House Budget Committee hearing on a proposed fiscal commission was this headline:

With government funding running out for some programs on January 19th, conservatives including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, are using this urgent deadline to demand cuts to critical programs. And they want to do deeper cuts behind closed doors so the American people won’t know who to blame.

Wouldn’t it be great if instead they focused on the need for the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share in taxes to meet the needs of everyday people?

Help us fight back against a fiscal commission to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and more behind closed doors. Instead of cuts, we’re demanding Congress raise new revenues from millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. Rush a donation today!

What right-wingers won’t admit publicly is that this fiscal commission is not really about our nation’s debt. It’s really about slashing services to pay for more tax cuts for their wealthy campaign contributors.

That’s why House Republicans have already voted to cut $67 billion in critical IRS funding that is allowing the agency to crack down on wealthy and corporate tax cheats. And why they’re pushing legislation to cut the taxes of the wealthy and corporations alike.

A so-called fiscal commission is about cutting critical needs programs. But we cannot cut our way to prosperity!
