Trump's second term has been a payday for the powerful, exposing a disconnect in his promise to deliver for "the forgotten man" of America's working class.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.
Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

The number of able bodied adults on Medicaid who aren’t working or looking for work is in the low single digits. When Georgia instituted Medicaid work requirements it cost them $13k just to enroll people because of it.

As Congress cuts millions off of Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for the rich let us not forget, it’s the inequality and inability to tax wealth and invest in people that’s ultimately killing this country. #tax #economy #inequality

50 years of bipartisan tax policy. Tax cuts lead to defunding of government. A defunded government eventually fails its citizens. People no longer trust that the government can work and so they favor more tax cuts.
