Two weeks ago, House Republicans rammed through a budget resolution that,
if eventually passed, would slash more than $2 trillion in federal
spending while giving the ultra-wealthy more than $4.5 trillion in new tax
cuts.
[ [link removed] ]A headline from The New York Times detailing the House GOP's passage of
a budget resolution nearly two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the House is considering a separate stop-gap bill to avoid a
government shutdown in less than a week.
How would they complete these budget cuts? By gutting critical safety net
programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and other essential programs that
many Americans rely on — including the GOP’s own voters.
This tells us everything we need to know about who they're really working
for, John. If the
GOP truly gave a damn about “balancing budgets” and reducing waste in
federal spending, they would reduce defense spending and *adequately* tax
those with the most to give.
But that’s not what’s happening. Instead, they’ve decided to turn their
backs on voters across the country.
Republicans will claim that they can “find cost-savings” without harming
the benefits so many communities rely on. We know this is nothing more
than a lie.
John, we know
things feel grim right now. But we’re fighting back and could use your
support. Your members of congress need to hear from you right now.
Together, we can put pressure on them to act to stop these cruel cuts from
becoming reality.

demanding: NO cuts to Medicaid or food stamps and NO MORE tax cuts for the
ultra-rich.
