An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No on this hypocritical budget- no cuts to essential programs

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

If the US government can’t afford to support veterans, cancer research or public health and such, can we really afford rocket-ships? Especially ones so poorly built that they explode in our skies and litter our waters and land with debris. Should all the funding to SpaceX be cut? And when we see the poor quality of manufacturing, and the absurdly bad design of the cybertruck, do we want to put our soldiers at risk by making them use Tesla products? If you ACTUALLY cared about targeting fraud and waste- please go to the real source: Elon Musk. Healthcare companies making millions and millions in profit off of overcharging. Prescription companies up charging in America. Lobbyists who pay our elected officials for the opportunity to swindle Americans for profit. Senators and House representatives who don’t read the bills, don’t hold town halls, don’t respond or consider the wants and needs of their constituents, don’t show up to work to do THEIR JOB. That seems like the real waste of taxpayer and federal dollars. If you actually cared about our Nation’s debt, you would be looking for ways to reduce it- not add TRILLIONS to it for tax cuts to millionaires. Cutting funding to life saving programs is NOT reducing our deficit. Cutting off children from their health insurance, their school lunches, their food at home- is not reducing our deficit. Firing federal workers who run essential programs is not cutting our deficit. Cutting off our INTERNATIONAL ALLIES is not reducing our deficit- it is putting us in direct danger. All of these things that are in the process being eliminated or cut (or already have been) is not helping our country, it is only causing suffering. It seems that the cruelty is the point. People are paying attention. They will remember your actions- and your inactions. History will not remember you fondly for standing idly by when you had the power to do something for good. No tax cuts for millionaires. No cuts to Medicare/medicaid/social security/SNAP/WIC.
