⚕️ The Trump admin, along with 18 state attorneys general, is urging the courts to strike down the entire ACA.
This would cause 20 million people to become uninsured, end protections for pre-existing conditions, disrupt Medicare & Medicaid, & more: cbpp.org/research/feder…
🍎All 3 previous #TrumpBudget s have proposed substantial cuts in #SNAP, #housing assistance, & basic income assistance for families w/ children, people w/ disabilities, & more.
This would increase #poverty & hardship: cbpp.org/research/feder…
💵All 3 of the previous #TrumpBudget s have cut non-defense discretionary funding by more than 40% in inflation-adjusted terms by the end of their 10-year budget windows: cbpp.org/research/feder…
🚧Last year’s #TrumpBudget claimed to support at least $1 trillion in #infrastructure investment, but that number masked net cuts in federal infrastructure funding in the long run: cbpp.org/research/feder…
⚖️If this year’s #TrumpBudget follows his last year’s budget, then it will increase income disparities & widen inequality across racial & ethnic lines: cbpp.org/research/feder…
The #TrumpBudget will be released on February 10 & we will be providing analysis on all these policy fronts throughout the day.
