John,
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are telegraphing their plans to freeze and cut taxpayer funding for critical services in order to pay for more tax cuts for the wealthy.
While a judge temporarily halted the freeze in federal funding the Trump administration abruptly ordered this past week, (we’ll learn more in that legal case on Monday) the White House and congressional Republicans are working on plans that would not just freeze spending on vital public services but impose dramatic cuts.
A leaked memo reveals a radical right-wing blueprint to gut programs that millions of Americans rely on—just to hand the ultra-rich another massive tax giveaway.[1]
Their plan outlines $2.2 trillion in cuts from Medicare, Medicaid, food assistance, and even disaster relief, all while pushing $1.2 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
We’ve broken down exactly how their plan works—and what it means for you—in our new infographic.
Republicans are counting on you not seeing this. But we’re making sure every American knows exactly what they’re planning. Will you chip in now to help us expose their tax scam and fight back?
This isn’t about reducing the deficit, it’s about enriching the wealthiest Americans at our expense. The numbers don’t lie. The GOP’s plan will:
-
Cut Medicare and Medicaid, directly harming seniors, low-income households, and people with disabilities.
-
Hike taxes on working families by repealing a credit that makes child care more affordable and raising taxes on single parents and students.
-
Hand billions to the ultra-rich by repealing the corporate minimum tax and expanding loopholes for Wall Street and Big Oil.
Their plan even includes a $1.9 trillion tariff hike, which can turn into a hidden tax increase on every American by making groceries, gas, and household goods even more expensive.
The bottom line is, if we don’t stop them, these cuts will gut healthcare, eliminate critical tax credits, and leave working families paying for more tax cuts for the rich. We can’t let them get away with it.
