Fighting Trump & Republicans' Billionaires-First Agenda

Senator Reed is Standing Up for Rhode Island Against President Trump’s Budget Bill

President Trump and Congressional Republicans are trying to force through a disastrous bill to destroy safety net programs that hardworking Americans rely on, all so they can give massive tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.

Key Takeaways: Cruel, Irresponsible, Budget Buster

16 million Americans, including roughly 40,000 Rhode Islanders, would be kicked off their health insurance.

Strips food and nutrition assistance away from 11 million Americans, including 21,000 Rhode Islanders.

Increases the deficit by up to $3 trillion.

Taxes

Republicans are stealing from the poor to give to the rich, so that they can make their tax cuts for the rich permanent.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the poorest Americans will lose 4% of their income while the richest Americans will gain 4% of their income.

It is so irresponsible that it is already threatening our nation’s financial health.

Health Care

Republicans are moving forward with over $1 trillion in health care funding cuts, throwing an estimated 16 million Americans off health insurance.

The bill would result in the largest funding cut to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in U.S. History, while purposefully making it difficult and expensive to get health insurance through Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces and undercutting Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices.
