Herbert,

We don’t like writing with bad news.

But – unless you’re super rich  – House Republicans just passed a budget that’s nothing but BAD.

There’s simply no way for them to pay for the massive tax breaks for our nation’s billionaires prescribed in this bill without hurting the rest of us.

Medicaid and healthcare subsidies? Cut.
Food assistance? Cut.
Programs to lower home energy costs? Cut.
Education grants and loans? Cut.

In fact, the only thing that goes up under this bad budget is the federal deficit.

Will you contribute to Johnny’s efforts to ensure this budget isn’t codified in the upcoming appropriations process? He stood up for Marylanders by voting against this bad budget. And there’s still an opportunity to pass spending bills that work for ALL Americans, with your help.

Working families can’t afford to give billionaires yet another tax cut that they don’t need. Johnny will keep fighting to make sure their voices are heard.
