An administration's budget says a lot about what—and, more importantly, who—it values.

So let's talk about the Trump administration's 2020 budget proposal and why it makes clear that this administration doesn’t value seniors, low-income families, and young people.
The budget would cut or remove the following over the next decade:

- $845 billion from Medicare
- $241 billion from Medicaid
- $220 billion from the SNAP nutrition program for low-income families
- $207 billion from federal student loan programs
Instead of investing in Americans and their families, the Trump budget would:

1. Add $33 billion to the Defense budget for a total of $718 billion.

Even without those additions, our defense budget is equal to the military spending of half the world. vox.com/2015/8/23/9189…
2. Send $8.6 billion to the president's border wall project to address a nonexistent national emergency, on top of $7 billion the administration has already allocated.
Let your representatives know what you think about the proposed budget and who it values. Make sure your friends and family do too.
