I voted NO on the Republican budget this week. Congress should be working together on a budget that moves more people forward. Instead, the Republican budget includes drastic cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and lays the groundwork for tax cuts to the wealthy. Here are a few things the GOP budget does: Guts Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion Slashes Medicare by almost $500 billion Cuts funding for programs that help veterans, seniors, students, and families Increases the deficit by $1.5 trillion For more information on the GOP proposed budget, see "The GOP Bill is a 'Sensible Framework' -- but Still a 'Deficit for Exploding Tax Cut' for the Rich and Corporations" on the homepage of this website.
