Congressional Republicans approved Trump's budget, significantly benefiting wealthy households while decreasing support for poor Americans, severely impacting healthcare and food programs. Tax cuts favor households earning over $500,000, equating to $120bn annually. The budget also emphasizes military spending reaching $1.3tn and immigration enforcement, revealing a shift in priorities. The vice-president's comments provoking Democratic anger highlight the administration's intent to expand funding for oppressive measures. This budget exacerbates wealth disparity, aligning with a broader agenda that prioritizes divisive and violent social policies.
The rich will get obscenely richer. The poor will be hungrier and sicker, work more precarious, and the planet unrelentingly hotter.
Cuts to healthcare and food programs average about $120bn each year over the next decade, while the tax cuts will save households earning more than $500,000 about $120bn a year.
JD Vance summed up the administration's priorities: Everything else, including the Congressional Budget Office's deficit estimates, is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.
As Leah Greenberg stated, they want an exponential increase in $$$ so they can build their own personal Gestapo.
