The GOP budget seeks vast cuts to Medicaid, food assistance and more. Instead, let’s build an economy for everyoneAmerican families are exhausted. They deserve a government that chooses them over billionaire donors. The Republican budget plan that passed the House last week calls for $4.5tn in tax giveaways for the ultra-rich and corporations.
