The federal budget bill passed by the House of Representatives extends tax cuts from Donald Trump's first term while imposing significant cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs. An estimated 17 million people will lose health care coverage or subsidies over the next decade. The bill adds $4 trillion to the national debt and undermines health services for working-class Americans, veterans, and children. Buttigieg criticizes the bill, urging Americans to resist its passage and condemns the prioritization of the wealthy over essential services for vulnerable populations.
"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."
