Put a Stop To Trump's Budget
The budget, including the health care plan, is made to increase the wealth of the top 1% and leave the rest of us scrambling to pay for health care insurance, and more. There are built-in tax cuts for the rich. The military spending is outrageous - including building a new nuclear weapons plant in Tennessee. There will be cuts in S. S. Disability, and Medicaid cuts, leaving the poorest and most helpless without help.
Why is this important?
I have had to use Disability insurance for several years in my life when a failed back surgery made it impossible for me to work. I have several friends who are disabled - who would LOVE to be working - but can't because of physical reasons. Medicaid is how most long-term Nursing Home care is paid for by Americans. Since the average cost is $5,000.00 a month, unless you are very wealthy, most people can not afford such an expense.
The fact that the health care bill proposed by the Republicans comes with a tax break for the wealthy is a slap in the face. The taxpayers in our country pay for every member of Congress to have excellent, free health care, with no pre-existing condition clause, and no limit on catastrophic illnesses!
We already have enough nuclear weapons to blow the entire earth into oblivion, and the idea of building more is totally insane. We have been warned about the Military-Industrial-Complex and Obama had begun to get us away from it, but Trump has put us back on track for an enormous military, that, instead of making us safer, will intimidate our enemies.
I believe the Democrats and the American people need to fight against this budget. Please sign this petition.
