An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Do not increase the debt ceiling

57 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The newly released House Republican budget outline raises significant concerns about fiscal responsibility and transparency. Proposing $4.5 trillion in tax cuts while only identifying $1.5 trillion in potential spending reductions is deeply troubling. This imbalanced approach would balloon the deficit by over $3 trillion over the next decade. Furthermore, the plan relies heavily on raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion, kicking the can down the road instead of implementing real solutions. Slashing vital programs that provide healthcare and nutrition assistance to low-income Americans is an unacceptable trade-off for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy. This approach prioritizes corporate interests over the wellbeing of vulnerable citizens. Fiscally responsible governing demands bold initiatives to rein in unsustainable debt levels and address longstanding budgetary challenges. However, this Republican plan lacks the foresight and courage to enact meaningful reforms. I urge you to reject this fiscally reckless proposal and instead pursue a balanced approach that upholds our nation's commitment to both economic prosperity and compassionate support for all citizens.
