John,

The Republican budget bill making its way through Congress isn’t just reckless–it’s an attack on ordinary Americans. It slashes Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP, all while cutting taxes for corporations and increasing the deficit by $2.4 trillion.

Do they think Americans can't do the math? We can—and we know their numbers don't add up.

I just introduced a Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan to reduce the deficit by $12 trillion in the next decade, freeing us up to invest in essential programs for working- and middle-class Americans:

✅ Universal healthcare

✅ Affordable housing and childcare

✅ Free tuition for public universities

✅ Student debt cancellation

✅ Bigger, better manufacturing

✅ Creating good-paying jobs

ADD YOUR NAME: Support the Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan.

We can do all of these things by making cuts where they’re needed most: modernizing the military ($850 billion), getting rid of upcoding and fraud in Medicare Advantage ($830 billion), negotiating Medicare drug prices ($200 billion), ending fossil fuel subsidies ($170 billion), and implementing smarter procurement and contracting ($333 billion). On top of that, we can generate revenue by taxing corporations and billionaires fairly.

This plan isn’t about politics–it’s about priorities. 

Americans shouldn’t pay two to four times more for prescriptions than people in Canada, Germany, or the UK. 

We shouldn't be paying polluters to give our kids asthma and fleece the American public. 

We shouldn’t be greenlighting a $1 trillion budget for a Defense Department that hasn’t passed an audit in nine years. 

And we shouldn’t be giving handouts to billionaires and corporations while working families struggle to make ends meet.

Thank you for your support, your activism, and all that you do.

In solidarity,
