https://itep.org/house-budget-resolutio ... b]February 26, 2025[/b]The budget resolution passed by House Republicans yesterday will enrich the richest, blow up the deficit, and decimate vital public services. If adopted by the Senate, this framework will allow lawmakers to move forward on enacting President Trump’s tax plans through “reconciliation” legislation that cannot be filibustered in the Senate and therefore can pass without any Democratic votes. The budget resolution allows Congress to pass reconciliation legislation with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts – or more if Republicans’ spending cuts exceed the targets in the resolution – that would mostly flow to the wealthiest families in the country.Congressional Republicans have no way to pay for the massive tax cuts promised by President Trump during his campaign other than to dismantle fundamental parts of the government and increase the federal budget deficit.Fuelman » Today, 4:00 pm » wrote: ↑ I didn't vote for Trump.
Most people agree Medicaid is a worthwhile program. Both of my Wife's parents died on Medicaid in a long term memory care unit. Dad for two years and mom for four years. The six years prior to that of living in assisted living facilities burned through their life savings. I've been through the 5 year look back of finances to qualify for Medicaid. I'm glad the program exists.
Get back to us when you know exactly where these cuts are being made instead of a bunch of hair on fire opinions.
