The Trump budget is a disaster for the very people who the President claims he wants to assist. It is reckless, reprehensible, and regressive. The Trump budget balances itself on the backs of working families, middle class folks, senior citizens, the poor, the sick, the afflicted, and rural America. The Trump budget fails to invest in education and job training, it fails to invest in transportation and infrastructure, and it fails to invest in research and development. Instead, the Trump budget would cut Head Start, cut Medicaid, cut assistance to nursing homes, and it even cuts Meals on Wheels. This is all being done simply to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and the well-off--lifestyles of the rich and shameless. The Trump budget is a disaster, and we are going to do everything possible to vote it down. ____________________
