The Republican budget proposal released this week...

-Cuts $1.5 trillion from Social Security

-Repeals Medicare's ability to negotiate drug prices

-Nixes Medicare's $35 out-of-pocket cap on insulin

All to pay for trillions of dollars in tax cuts skewed in favor of the rich.

@rbreich They'd rather pay thousands for insulin and never be able to retire in order to own the libs.

@rbreich How do people see this and think they have people's best interests at heart? When people say Oh all politicians are the same, no sorry, they are NOT.

@rbreich Who among us would not agree that the sainted Job Creators should get the lion's share of the loin's share? It's an honor to sacrifice for them.

@rbreich

The problem seems to be that any opposition to lowering taxes for the rich is portrayed as one step away from raising taxes for the middle class. Conservatives have been told for decades now that all of their problems are caused by taxes, that all of their problems will be solved if they pay less taxes, and that all taxation benefits someone other than them.

To them, the choices are "lower taxes for the rich," or "slavery for everyone."

We need to show them a third possibility.

@rbreich In normal times, this would end the party that made such a proposal. Let's see how far from normal we are.

@rbreich I wish I could say any of that surprises me, but it doesn’t. 🤬
