This continuing resolution isn't just a budget — it's a stealth attack on programs Americans depend on, and a GOP power grab gift to Trump and DOGE. Here's what they don't want you to know.
-
Massive Healthcare Cuts: Nearly $900 million slashed from Health Resources and Services Administration programs that help vulnerable Americans access healthcare, plus another $70 million cut from mental health and substance abuse services during an ongoing addiction crisis.
-
Education Funding Gutted: Over $200 million cut from higher education programs that help students afford college and gain skills for better jobs.
-
IRS Funding Reductions: These cuts actually INCREASE the deficit by $46 billion over ten years because the IRS won't be able to collect taxes owed by wealthy tax cheats.
-
Sequestration Powers: The bill contains provisions requiring agencies to implement automatic cuts if ordered by the President, potentially giving the executive branch more control over which programs get cut.
-
Medicare Cuts: Extends the 2% Medicare payment reduction for an additional two months, hurting healthcare providers who serve seniors.
-
Local Projects Eliminated: The bill eliminates all Congressionally Directed Spending, meaning local community projects lose funding while giving more spending authority to unelected bureaucrats.
-
Inflation Ignored: Rather than addressing current needs, the bill largely continues last year's funding levels, ignoring inflation and emerging priorities.
This isn't just about numbers — it's about real impacts on healthcare, education, and services that affect everyday Americans. Call your representatives and tell them we deserve better.
