The
Republican Congress submitted their 2015 Path to Prosperity for the Wealthy, Corporations and Oil Barons
Budget.
The
Republican Path to Prosperity
Budget cuts spending on pro-growth reforms that boost job creation; cuts
taxes on the rich; privatizes Medicare to pad corporate pockets; cuts spending
on infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.); cuts health care for the poor; cuts environmental protection programs to pad oil baron pockets; cuts programs protecting Americans
from predatory lenders; cuts public education; cuts public safety, cuts student loan assistance programs; and cuts
poverty programs affecting infants, children, women, veterans, senior citizens
and the disabled.
The Republican
Budget, essentially, formalizes Republican lawmakers(?) Six Year Blocking and Sabotaging
Campaign aimed at destroying the American economy using the middle
class and poor as collateral damage!
An interesting article from ourfuture.org
entitled The Cost to Our Economy From
Republican Obstruction and Sabotage states it well.
Throughout the past six years, Republicans in Congress have:
- Refused to allow votes on
anything that would help the economy,
- Passed bills on more tax
cuts for the wealthy and corporations
- Passed a bill allowing a
foreign oil company to take American farmers’ land to export oil outside of the
United States by eminent domain
- Passed over 50 bills to
defund affordable health care
- Passed bills to afford oil
companies with more tax subsidies
- Spending cuts on
maintaining our infrastructure and scientific research,
- Cut regulations that
protect people and the environment from being harmed by corporations seeking
profit
- Blocked legislation to
maintain infrastructure e.g. roads bridges
- Blocked legislation to
hire teachers
- Blocked legislation to raise
the minimum wage
- Blocked legislation to
give equal pay for women
- Blocked student loan
relief
- Blocked relief for the
long-term unemployed
- Blocked the stoppage of
special tax breaks for millionaires, corporations and big oil interests.
- Blocked the stoppage of
tax breaks for outsourcing American jobs overseas.
Fight for prosperity for all Americans!
