God forbid we protect the peasants. They are only there to pay taxes so the rich can continue to find ways not to.

The full title of that GOP legislation is: "The Commitment to the Part of American that donates mega-millions to Our Campaigns."

They will do what they said they would do: try to take away all that really benefits working people--lower pharmaceutical prices and create affordable healthcare, privatize social security and medicare, remove regulations protecting our air and water, remove consumer protection (and the agency that Elizabeth Warren had created to investigate fraud)...and, in return, once again (as Trump's "signature tax plan" reduce taxes for wealthy corporations and wealthy individuals. Despite catastrophic climate disasters, they would do nothing to mitigate disasters(although they gladly receive federal funding for floods and hurricanes and infrastructure ( as did DeSantis), allowing drilling everywhere and doing nothing to reduce carbon emissions. In other words they would follow their financial backers who poured millions to their campaigns--fossil fuels, big pharma, weapons manufacturers....Your letter, Ken, lists their assault on our democracy, our people, and our earth. My question is,again and again, why people would vote for "leaders" (like our Stefanik) who spouts all she does, deny all she voted against, and would do nothing to help us live our full lives. I wrote a letter to the Post Star which might appear this weekend.. Thanks, Ken.

I think Bernice covered everything quite well. I think all those things are in the budget proposal.
