Amplify: Republican Budget Puts Billionaires Above Our Families
Congressional Republicans are currently considering a budget that takes away Medicaid and food assistance from millions of Americans to pay for even more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
Here’s how:
13.7 million Americans will lose their health care through cuts and onerous bureaucratic roadblocks to access Medicaid and ending tax cuts for working and middle-class families to afford health care. (Source: Congressional Budget Office)
Nearly 11 million Americans, including more than four million children, will lose food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). (Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities)
These and other cuts in the budget would lead to a loss of nearly one million jobs across the country (Source: Commonwealth Fund and the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health)
Republicans are willing to hurt American families to pay for continued tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, but it only takes a handful of Republicans to vote “no” to stop this budget in its present form.
Call the House switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and tell your Member of Congress: Vote NO on any budget that cuts Medicaid and SNAP.
ACT NOW: Various votes are moving through the committee level, and the full House is expected to vote on the budget as early as next week. If it passes, it will be taken up by the Senate this summer.
