Budget

Budgets are statements of values. Here are the Trump administration’s:

– $8.6 billion for a pointless wall that Congress already rejected
– $1.5 trillion cut from Medicaid
– $845 billion cut from Medicare
– $25 billion cut from Social Security
– $220 billion cut from SNAP

— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) March 12, 2019

and

I still can’t believe trump is calling for $845 billion in cuts to Medicare. It’s like he said to himself “hell, I saluted a North Korean general and gave Russians classified info while standing in the Oval. Might as well see just how far we can ride this crazy train.”

— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) March 12, 2019

cuts to medicare

There are small events and big events in politics. Trump putting on paper he is proposing massive cuts to Medicare, a program that serves a lot of Trump voters, is a big event. Act accordingly my friends. Use your voice to remind everyone you know about this.
