Reject H.R. 1's harmful austerity, protect social programs
To: Rep. Kennedy
From: A constituent in American Fork, UT
July 3
The proposed budget bill (H.R. 1) is fiscally irresponsible, adding trillions of dollars to the nation's growing deficit burden. While intended aims like government streamlining are admirable, its severe funding cuts to crucial social safety nets will disproportionately harm vulnerable populations and exacerbate economic inequality. We need a balanced approach that reins in wasteful spending without jeopardizing vital public services and investments for sustainable development benefiting all citizens. Prioritizing fiscal discipline should not come at the cost of our most disadvantaged communities. I urge you to reject this legislation's misguided austerity measures.
