Upcoming Detrimental Budget Cuts are YOUR Fault

I’m writing to express my utter frustration and outrage over your vote in favor of the recent House Republican budget. This decision will have devastating consequences for millions of Americans, and as a result of your vote, you are directly responsible for the severe harm it will cause. By passing this budget, you have chosen to prioritize tax giveaways for the wealthiest individuals and corporations over the well-being of struggling families across this nation. The massive cuts to Medicaid, food assistance (SNAP), and education programs will increase poverty, make healthcare unaffordable, and leave millions of people without the support they need to survive. You’ve effectively voted to strip away the safety nets that countless Americans rely on, pushing them deeper into hardship. You’ve decided that the most vulnerable in our society—children, seniors, working families, and those in rural or underserved areas—should pay the price for giving the wealthiest Americans an average tax cut of $62,000. This budget's tax cuts for the rich are nothing short of obscene. These are not just abstract numbers; they represent real people—people who will lose their health coverage, their access to food, and their ability to afford education. The logic behind your vote is beyond me. How can you justify slashing Medicaid, which provides life-saving coverage to 72 million people, just to shower the top 1% with more tax cuts? How do you sleep at night knowing that your actions will lead to more families skipping meals, more people being denied cancer treatments, and more seniors being forced out of their homes into institutions? These cuts won’t just affect people in faraway states; they will hurt individuals in every city, town, and community across the country—many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet. Your vote to pass this budget is not only a betrayal of the promises made to voters but an attack on the future of our nation. The proposed cuts are not about eliminating fraud, as some have tried to claim—they are about punishing people who are already living paycheck to paycheck. And for what? To give more money to people who don’t need it? To further enrich the wealthy at the expense of working families? This is not what the American people voted for. You’ve now tied your name to a budget that will only make life harder for those who are already at the bottom. The House budget will increase costs for families, leave millions without health coverage, and increase poverty—just so that the wealthiest Americans and businesses can receive handouts. This is wrong, and it’s on you. I am holding you accountable for your vote. Your decision to pass this budget is a clear indication that you value tax cuts for the wealthy over the well-being of everyday Americans. I hope you will reconsider your priorities and, in the future, stand up for your constituents rather than furthering the interests of the rich.
