Stop the Congressional Budget "Reform" Act from Slashing Medicare and SNAP

This bill is designed to enshrine the $2 trillion Trump tax cuts for the 1% as deficit neutral by creating an automatic process to slash potentially trillions of dollars from programs like Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and Obamacare subsidies. This bill is a vicious assault on the poor and working people, and it must be withdrawn.

Why is this important?

This bill means that any future Presidential administration will be hamstrung by budget cuts that automatically target social services. It's an attempt to stop progressive legislation like the Green New Deal or Medicare for All from passing by holding people's lives hostage, and it's despicable. The bill just moved out of committee, and has the support of five DINO members of the Senate Democratic Caucus.
