I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Republican budget plan advanced by the House, which proposes over $1 trillion in cuts to vital programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).These cuts would be devastating to millions of low-income Americans—including children, the elderly, and people with disabilities—who rely on these programs for basic healthcare and nutrition.
Slashing essential safety nets to finance tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations is unacceptable. This budget does not reflect fiscal responsibility; it reflects a deliberate choice to prioritize corporate profits over human lives. It is a direct attack on the most vulnerable members of our society, forcing families to choose between food and medicine while billionaires get richer.
Instead of gutting Medicaid and SNAP, we should be investing in social programs that:
1. Promote public health by ensuring access to medical care and preventative services.
2. Combat poverty by providing nutritional assistance to families struggling to afford food.
3. Strengthen communities by offering stability and support to those in need.
Congress should be working to uplift working Americans, not punish them. I urge you to reject these cruel budget cuts and stand up for the millions of people who rely on these life-saving programs.
I look forward to your response and action on this issue.
