This Budget Bill Rewards the Wealthy at the Expense of Working Americans

For years, Republicans have championed fiscal responsibility—urging debt reduction and balanced budgets. But their latest budget bill tells a different story: one of economic injustice disguised as discipline. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the legislation would increase the national debt by $2.8 to $3.4 trillion over the next decade, while cutting $1.5 trillion in programs that millions of Americans depend on—Medicaid, ACA subsidies, and public services—without touching defense spending or corporate tax breaks.
