Budget Bill FAILURES
To: Rep. Kean
From: A verified voter in Lambertville, NJ
May 15
Is this true?!?! If so, you are, and have been, lying to us, Rep Kean!!
The budget bill includes:
• A version of H.R. 9495 -- "the nonprofit killer" bill, that would allow the Trump administration to rip tax-exempt status away from organizations without due process
• $5 trillion in tax breaks that disproportionately go to billionaires -- 50% of the total giveaways go to the wealthiest 5% of Americans
• Medicaid work requirements and other healthcare cuts that would lead to 14 million people losing insurance and costs rising for an additional 20 million Americans
• Billions in cuts to clean energy programs on top of accelerated permitting for fossil fuel extraction
• Defunding Planned Parenthood
• $45 billion for immigrant detention centers to facilitate mass deportations
• Elimination of the IRS' popular direct file program that allowed people to file their taxes for free and bypass expensive tax software services
• The biggest cuts to anti-hunger programs in US history -- literally snatching food away from families in need so that billionaires can afford another yacht
• An end to student loan forgiveness
My god, this is disgusting and devastating!!
