$5.6 Trillion on the Table—But GOP MAGA Picks Cruelty Over Common Sense

33 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

If you really want to fix the budget, here’s an easy, common-sense plan: 1. Let the 2017 tax cuts expire. • They were never paid for. • Keeping them will cost $4.5 TRILLION over 10 years. • That’s most of the reason you’re raising the debt ceiling right now. 2. Stop deporting tax-paying immigrants. • Undocumented workers with ITINs pay $60 BILLION/year in federal taxes. • They don’t get benefits, but they still pay in. • Kicking them out would cost over $1 TRILLION in lost revenue and enforcement costs. Total savings = $5.6 TRILLION That’s more than enough to cover the debt you’re worried about—without cutting Medicare, Medicaid, or anything working families rely on. This isn’t hard. It’s basic math. • Keep the revenue. • Stop wasting money. • Don’t punish people who are helping the system. Please do the right thing—and stop making things worse.
