The #TrumpBudget is replete with dangerous proposals that leave working families to fend for themselves in a changing and uncertain economy. It makes the President’s priorities clear: the wealthiest Americans come first ahead of working Americans. bit.ly/2HaXWkH
The #TrumpBudget is a manifestation of #TrumpBrokenPromises to improve health care, safeguard Medicare, & eliminate the debt. POTUS cuts Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, nutrition assistance, student loan assistance, & other priorities to offset the deficits caused by the #GOPTaxScam.
POTUS & GOP allies promised that their tax cuts for the wealthiest would pay for themselves & not cause higher deficits because the benefits directed toward the wealthy would eventually trickle down to workers & boost economic activity. This #TrumpBudget makes no mention of them.
Rather than admit their policy failure, the #TrumpBudget doubles down on this fantasy. Yet even when coupled with the extreme spending cuts included in the President’s budget, he still cannot overcome the massive deficits caused by his tax cuts to balance the budget.
Last year, both parties reached a bipartisan budget agreement that will govern this year’s topline spending levels. In addition to breaking the bipartisan budget agreement, the #TrumpBudget is little more than a partisan wish-list full of Republicans’ worst ideas. That’s a shame.
