That’s what Vice President JD Vance responded with when asked about the devastating impacts of this administration’s disastrous budget.
Not the 42 million Americans who are going hungry. Not the 16 million people about to lose their health care. Not the 300 hospitals on the brink of shutting down. Not the 200 Planned Parenthood clinics forced to close their doors. Not the lives that will be lost as a result.
All of that — in his words — is “immaterial.” Because to Vance and the GOP, the only thing that matters is making the ultrawealthy even richer, even if it means hardworking families have to foot the bill. They are openly admitting what we’ve known all along: they value billionaires over everyday people.
