Republicans' Cruel Budget: Tax Cuts for the Rich, Cuts for the Poor
2025-05-19
Republicans in Congress are pushing a deeply regressive budget, delivering massive tax cuts to the wealthy while cruelly slashing programs serving lower-income Americans. This bill is exceptionally cruel, relying on demonstrably false claims and failed policies—what some call 'zombie ideas'. For example, it would slash Medicaid by requiring adult recipients to be employed, ignoring the reality that most recipients are children, seniors, or disabled. This isn't just about finances; it's a malicious attack on the vulnerable, revealing a lack of compassion and an abuse of power by the Republican party.
