Trump Tax Bill to Make Massive Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP while Giving Billions in Tax Giveaways to Big Business & Billionaires

Today, ahead of the Senate GOP’s effort to push through their billionaire-backed reconciliation bill, Senators Schumer, Wyden, Gallego, and Warren successfully unified the Senate Democratic Caucus in opposition to the bill. Every Democrat and Independent in the U.S. Senate signed their letter opposing the legislation that would raise costs for working families while cutting taxes for ultra-millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations.

“With this letter, the line in the sand has been drawn. Either GOP Senators protect critical programs for working and middle-class families, or they make them foot the bill for billions in tax giveaways to the billionaires and wealthy corporations that fill their campaign coffers,” said ATF executive director David Kass. “We applaud the work of Senators Schumer, Wyden, Gallego, and Warren in building caucus consensus to present a unified front against this disastrous bill—one that would strip healthcare and nutritional assistance from millions and raise costs for Americans already struggling to make ends meet. Make no mistake, this deeply unpopular bill makes the largest Medicaid cuts in history to enable a massive transfer of wealth to the top 1% of our economy. In the coming days, Republicans in the Senate will reveal which side they’re on: their billionaire backers or their constituents.”
