Why lose our healthcare, when we can eliminate the carried interest loophole and increase Corporate taxes?
Instead of eliminating taxes on tips. Increase tip wages to a higher living wage, $15-22.00/hr , for everyone.
Instead of eliminating taxes on rental cars, eliminate interest payments on Student Loans. Student Loans are a profit center for the Federal Government and that’s not right.
Decrease tariffs and comply with pre existing levels and negotiated treaties. Then Moody’s will revert to our higher triple AAA rating and our debt will cost less.
A planned vote today in the House Budget Committee to advance the GOP megabill — Trump’s “big beautiful bill” that makes massive cuts in safety-net programs to finance tax giveaways to the richest Americans — is in peril.
The Republican proposal includes more than $600 billion in Medicaid cuts that are likely to throw more than 8 million people off the program, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — along with some $300 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Hard-line conservative Republicans are pushing for even deeper Medicaid cuts — including moving up the start date of new work requirements embedded in the bill, which currently go into effect in 2029, after the end of Trump’s term. Moderates are wary of making deeper cuts to Medicaid.
Progressives are targeting 14 vulnerable Republicans — demanding they vote “no” on the emerging package. If you live in any of their districts, please call them and tell them you’re one of their constituents and that you want them to vote no on the so-called “big beautiful” package (the congressional switchboard number is 202-224-3121):
