Trump’s Big Budget Bomb

I cannot remember a more cruel or irresponsible piece of domestic legislation that has been seriously proposed.

And its sins are compounded by its size. If the Republicans’ Big Budget Bomb goes off, we are all in the blast radius.

Ezra Klein

It is a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, from the young to the old and from the future to the past.

Call Senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin now to urge opposition to a Senate budget bill set for a vote by July 4. Notably, the Senate version of the bill makes even deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House version passed earlier. See details here. Overall, this bill transfers wealth from the poor to the rich, from the young to the old and from the future to the past. See more below.

(Yes, we know that Ron Johnson does not share our values and either will vote for the bill or maybe oppose it because he wants even deeper cuts. And yes, we know that Tammy Baldwin does share our values and likely will oppose the bill. But it’s still a good idea to make our voices heard with our elected officials.)
