Friends,
Just a quick note—
Please check out yesterday’s (June 29) Reuters article, which reports that Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” would add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. That’s $800 billion more than the version passed by the House just last month.
According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the real price tag could balloon to $5 trillion over ten years.
A majority of Americans do not support this monstrous legislation. Among its worst elements are deep cuts to Medicaid and the potential to trigger automatic $500 billion Medicare cuts—thanks to PAYGO (pay-as-you-go) rules—anytime between 2027 and 2034. Social Security isn’t safe either.
Excuse me, but this is happening just as the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement en masse? How reckless and irresponsible.
Gen X-ers aren't far behind either.
And for what? So the ultra-wealthy billionaire class can pocket even more of our hard-earned tax dollars—while the rest of us are told to tighten our belts?
Even Senator Josh Hawley has raised alarms about the bill’s catastrophic consequences. If he’s worried, that should tell you something.
This is a moment to act. Contact your representatives—let them know this bill is not what America needs. Let's also please call it what it is: A war on the people of this great nation.
The only thing that will make a difference at this point is pushback. If you don't know who represents you, this link will get you there.
Sí se puede! Yes we can!
