As a Republican-sponsored budget bill makes its way through Congress, Bishop William Barber condemns its damaging effects on low-income individuals, the elderly, and youth. He characterizes the bill as tantamount to 'social and political murder' due to cuts in critical services like Medicaid, in contrast to increased government funding for defense. Despite these objections, President Trump defends the budget as the largest tax reduction in U.S. history, amid ongoing negotiations and conflicting Republican interests regarding tax breaks and spending cuts. Polls indicate broad public support for sustained Medicaid funding.
It is about death-dealing and destruction to the poor and the elderly and the youth of our country.
We have to start talking about this budget as a form of social and political murder.
This is the greatest bill that will ever - I think it's the most important bill this country, just about, has ever done.
...most Americans want Medicaid funding to be increased or remain the same.
