Deliver Congress a recess message: NO cuts to basic health and nutrition assistance for tax breaks

Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed a budget resolution that cuts core anti-poverty programs – SNAP (formerly Food Stamps), Medicaid, and the EITC for working families – while fast-tracking massive tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. Congressional leaders want to pass a final budget by the end of the month. With the Senate on recess next week and the House the week after, we need to tell them loud and clear that voters oppose cutting basic assistance to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

House Vote Tomorrow on Large Cuts to Basic Assistance — Call Congress NOW

Tomorrow in Washington, the House of Representatives will vote on their proposed FY 2018 budget resolution. In this proposal, the House wants to enact huge tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and big corporations and cut basic assistance like SNAP (formerly Food Stamps), Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), to pay for these tax breaks for the wealthy, including “reconciliation instructions” that would fast track cuts to these programs.

BREAKING: Budgets Cut Taxes for the Rich, Pave Way for Medicaid and SNAP Cuts

A few hours ago, Senate Budget Committee leaders released their proposed 2018 budget. Unfortunately, this blueprint paves the way for trillions in deficit-increasing tax cuts that mostly benefit millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations — and down the line, the resulting deficits will be used by policymakers to demand cuts to basic assistance programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), education, and infrastructure. With the Senate Budget Committee considering this proposal next week (and the House voting on their budget next Thursday), we need to speak out!

White House budget would strip health care, education, and economic opportunity from millions

With its first federal budget proposal, the White House has taken aim at families struggling to put food on the table, kids around the world seeking an education, and millions more people facing poverty. Proposing massive funding cuts to effective anti-poverty programs, the budget jeopardizes the futures of people across the country and around the world. Now Congress takes up the process.
