In #Trump's #economy, the #government bends over backward to cut #taxes for the #rich, let big companies become too big, and everyone else can pay 10x insurance premiums and starve. And the #workingclass is starting to notice:
"According to the latest YouGov/Economist poll, only 31 percent of those earning $50,000 or less approve of Trump's handling of the presidency, compared to 65 percent who disapprove and 4 percent who were unsure.'

In Trump's America #Billionaires get tax cuts, while ordinary #Americans go hungry:
"Starting next October, #Trump’s so-called #OneBigBeautifulBill Act will shift billions in #SNAP costs from the federal government onto states. Some states won’t be able to afford this, and they could be forced to deeply cut or even shutter their SNAP programs altogether"

I wonder what the #billionaires and the companies that received equivalent largesse in the Republican evil #budgetbill are thinking these days after the election. Maybe their investment in the most #corrupt administration in history may not have been so smart after all? https://bit.ly/43SSCgB

The #Trump / #GOP budget brings the axe down on #NorthCarolina's neck:
"An analysis by the UNC School of Medicine found the program saved $1,000 annually for each of the 13,000 #Medicaid recipients enrolled in the pilot, which covers three rural swaths of the state... But the program is shutting down, an early casualty of the cuts to Medicaid that #Congress approved in July."

#TrumpVoters supported him because of big promises to lower prices. But it was a lie, the #budgetbill will raise prices for millions of #American people, and yet again #Trump plays his supporters for fools.

For the most part #USA #rural areas support #GOP, #MAGA, and #Trump. And so, the GOP and Trump are going to kill their local hospitals. And that will kill rural #Americans aka #Trumpvoters. Why is he doing this to them?

#Rural communities were amongst #Trump's most ardent supporters. His #GOP budget bill repays that support by gutting their #Medicaid coverage and endangering their hospitals, who will likely have to reduce services even for non-Medicaid patients.

42 faith leaders protested the #budgetbill - "the moral test of a nation is how it treats those most in need of support...this legislation will harm the poor & vulnerable in our nation... Its passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole. https://bit.ly/44Mevix

To me, the #budgetbill is also a statement of the degradation and new low that #capitalism has sunk to in our time. #Greed personified, idolized, the new god of America with few guardrails left. SCOTUS’s #CitizensUnited decision has accomplished its purpose. https://bit.ly/4063hTq

I see trump is using this Fourth of July to try to sell his budget bill to people in the #USA
He just bragged about eliminating the estate tax, lol like that affects most of us 🙄

Let this July 4 be the start of us all making a concerted effort to help out our neighbors in need.

The Trump budget bill will undermine public schools.
The bill includes a tax credit for contributions made to organizations that provide money for children to attend private schools* —
An estimated $26 billion revenue loss for the federal government.
#Republicans seek to incentivize private K-12 education.
* Blue states can opt out.

AOC wrote on BlueSky, a good summary of the Trump budget bill adopted in Congress.
"I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing."

Please copy and paste the below message into the forms on the websites of your Representatives.
Dear Representative --
Please remind your Republican counterparts that this artificial deadline is just that -- artificial. There is no reason it has to get done quickly.
Your most important job is to produce a useful and productive budget for the American people.
Tell them not to give in until there's a budget that serves all Americans, not just the wealthy.

College students w/o deep pockets, esp. grad students, may have to turn to private lenders if the proposed #trump budget legislation becomes law.
Federal student loans are preferred because of their consist terms & conditions, set by the #USA government.
This is concerning for a nation with what many would considered be a student loan crisis.

“There are no real consequences from missing the July 4 deadline that #Trump set, but any changes would require another Senate vote.”
“It’s absolutely gobsmacking that #Republicans have found a way to run up the debt by $3.3 trillion and still drive countless millions into hardship. The #USA will be a weaker, sicker and poorer country.”
