Cutting President Biden’s popular Build Back Better Act by $2 trillion
would mean cutting long-overdue investments in paid leave, childcare,
health care, climate action, housing, and education.

That’s why on CNN this weekend, I told Dana Bash that slashing the
investments that working people, families, and our communities need by $2
trillion is not going to happen.

bill is too small and not going to happen.

The topline number does not come out of thin air. We didn’t pick it out of
a hat. It comes from the important priorities that President Biden
outlined before Congress more than five months ago. It comes from the
priorities that we all promised people when they gave us the House, the
Senate, and the White House.

And look, we know exactly who is trying to slash away Democratic
priorities: Corporate America. They want us to make these “wrenching”
choices:

House aides planning how to make grueling cuts to Biden agenda to
accomodate centrists. Manchin's $1.5T topline = ~60% cut to Biden's plans.
Wrenching choices of what gets left out: homelessness or climate? seniors
or poor? hungry or sick?

The people did not elect us so we could choose between providing health
care OR child care, addressing homelessness OR climate change.
We need
to deliver economic relief for people in this country AND we need to fight
climate change.



[ [link removed] ]Corporations will do everything they can to slash the Build Back
Better Act and avoid paying their fair share in taxes. I’m fighting back,
because Democrats must act for the people — not Big Pharma, Wall Street,
and the fossil fuel industry. Can you chip in $3 to fuel my
fight?
We will deliver for the people, no matter how hard corporate America and
Big Pharma tries to stop us.

As our urgent work continues, I’m so glad to have you with me in this
fight.

In solidarity,

Pramila
