As we come toward the end of 2017, I hope and expect that most Americans know that almost every promise that @realDonaldTrump made during his presidential campaign was a lie. Just a few examples:
He promised to provide health care to "everybody," but he supported legislation that would have thrown up to 32 million Americans off the health care they currently have.
He promised to pass tax reform that would benefit the middle class, but is now supporting legislation that gives 62% of the benefits to the top 1% and would, after 10 years, raise taxes on 83 million middle-class families.
He promised to stand up to the power of corporate interests, but supported the FCC decision to end net neutrality, something Comcast, AT&T and other media conglomerates were begging for.
He promised to lower the cost of prescription drugs but then nominated Alex Azar, a former pharmaceutical industry executive, as head of the Health and Human Services agency.
Our job: Fight back against the reactionary Trump agenda and for a progressive agenda that works for the middle class, not the 1%.
