What are the key concerns with the Republican budget proposal and who would it impact the most?
The Republican budget proposal threatens vulnerable populations through significant cuts to essential programs while prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy. Congressman Brendan Boyle highlighted that these cuts would particularly harm seniors, low-income families, children, and people with disabilities by potentially stripping away healthcare services through Medicare and Medicaid. Democrats attempted to protect these vital programs including Social Security, ACA tax credits, and healthcare coverage that millions of Americans rely on. Meanwhile, the proposal includes giving trillions of dollars in handouts to billionaires and corporations while increasing the national debt by $4 trillion.
