Pete Buttigieg criticized the federal budget bill recently passed by the House, which will extend tax cuts instituted during Trump's first term and reduce funding for Medicaid significantly. The bill will also cut funding for SNAP, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Planned Parenthood, impacting millions, including veterans and children. It threatens to worsen healthcare accessibility and increase the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade. Buttigieg urges Americans to contest the bill's implications on the working class and low-income families.
We're hearing that the House has passed the megabill after it got through the Republican Senate. Now it's on its way to President Trump's desk, and he's going to sign it. When he does, he will create some of the biggest tax breaks for billionaires in history, even more wealth to the wealthiest Americans. And the way they're paying for it is to cut health care for working-class Americans, to cut food that would go to veterans and children in this country.
To shut down rural hospitals and make an entire generation worse off. And they're managing to increase the national debt and deficit while they do it. This is the decisive, once and for all answer to what the president and his party are about.
