It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

Not surprising at all. Let this gain more traction and coverage than the drama dump is trying to create in LA. May the outcome be enough to get the circus out and a competent administration in!

Speaker Johnson says there's “a moral component” to Trump's "big, beautiful" bill. Really?
 
Is it “moral” to cut nutrition assistance for hungry kids?
 
Is it “moral” to eliminate health care for 13.7 million Americans so the 1% gets a $664 billion tax break?

I don’t think so.

In Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, public colleges are tuition free or virtually tuition free.

Their governments understand the value of investing in their young people. So should we.
