confirms $1.9 trillion Biden Bailout Bill would cause $36 billion in cuts to Medicare starting next year. The Democrat plan sacrifices a healthcare program for America’s seniors to bailout political allies & enact a radical agenda.
Now that we've resolved that Medicare and Social Security are off the table (as
@SpeakerMcCarthy
and Republicans have repeatedly said), let's act responsibly by reducing the hundreds of billions in wasteful Washington spending and stave off a future debt crisis.
Israel needs our help.
Congress must decide: do we continue to raise revenue off the backs of low-income families making less than $25k or do we put an end to predatory audits on those least able to afford while ALSO supporting Israeli defenses?

weekend working Americans are sadly facing higher costs at the pump and in the checkout line, yet Washington Democrats continue to deny the threat of inflation.
The OMB is a vital agency that oversees all aspects of the executive branch.
Putting someone in charge who has a proven track record of shockingly partisan views and an alarming track record of mismanagement would be a massive failure.
Instead of focusing on ways to grow America, Joe Biden’s budget finds new ways to target Americans. His budget would take $80 billion to permanently expand the IRS and hire over 80,000 new auditors to go after Americans.

Since President Biden has been in office there have been 8.7 million illegal migrant encounters nationwide—over 75 BILLION taxpayer dollars have been spent on illegal immigrants.
The Senate’s disastrous “border bill” is political window dressing for Democrats in an election year.
• Accepts 1.8 million illegal migrants a year.
• Empowers human trafficking.
• Expands Mayorkas’ parole abuse.
To suggest that this bill provides “border security” is
Inflation has gone up by double-digits since Joe Biden became president. The Biden Budget would make the inflation crisis worse by increasing spending by 66% over the next 10 years.
