This has NEVER been about the budget for Republicans. They’re plotting to strip away food from the struggling, subsistence from seniors, earned benefits from the elderly & keep kids out of classrooms just to give their rich donors a handout big enough to buy another yacht.

You’re lying. How tragic that someone who is supposed to represent Americans feels that it’s OK to overtly lie. There isn’t one program that will be “stripped”. What republicans are asking for makes sense if you actually READ it. Oh - and the outright lie that the Dems proposal will cut the deficit? What hogwash!! It increases the deficit to $52T over 10 yrs!!! Spending money like drunken sailors caused this mess!!!!

Those of us who actually work and pay taxes have funded enough handouts.

@ResisterSis20 We need more black women im congress.

She is from a commonwealth state that has more welfare recipients and SSDI claims than actual people working to pay for it. She will say anything to blame GOP for putting a grinding halt on out of control spending. That’s why Blue States are so broke.

@EPennysworth With the Republicans, it’s always about the cruelty, never about the budget. The more people it hurts, the better. Especially when it’s targeted at the “right” people.

It’s completely ironic that you’re talking about rich donors!! You do realize you’re the party of elitists, right????

This has never been about default for Democrats. They view even modest spending cuts with horror at the thought of not getting their grubby little fingers on as much money as possible.

Let's talk about funding Ukraine. If people are in such bad shape here, why is $$ going over there? Student debt is a choice and why doesn't anyone mention the billions colleges hold in 'endowments'? Guaranteed student loans started the rise in tuition costs, nothing else.

Would like to know who is getting handouts cause this senior doesn’t get diddly squat.

'Retire in dignity' - like how inflation is killing the working and middle class savings and depreciating their wages?
