Dear Sir, (Me Again)


Dear Rep. _______,

The "big, beautiful bill" currently under consideration in the House proposes around $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid in order to attempt to cover the cost of $4.5 trillion in tax breaks.

A preliminary estimate from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says that these cuts would, in ten years time, reduce the number of people with health care by 8.6 million.

This is heartless greedy madness.

As many of these tax cuts seem designed to protect the wealthy, I suggest that if, as the President says, children can do with fewer pencils and dolls due to his tariffs, perhaps multi-millionaires and billionaires can do with fewer homes/jets/yachts/luxuries/golf clubs/tax breaks.

Your disgusted constituent

Hear, hear. (And I do hope those Congress critters will not only hear, but *listen*.)

Totally agree! I don't understand why no-one can/will stop all this madness.

I sure do hope next year's elections prove this point...we the people are making our voices heard, and no matter how many illegal actions MAGAs might try - the ballots will send all these guys home!
