'When you add up the cuts they want to make, they are so extreme they don't want to show them to you,' said SenWhitehouse
"When you add up the cuts they want to make, they are so extreme they don't want to show them to you," said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.to freeze federal spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, a cap that would inflict severe cuts on programs that help low-income families afford food, healthcare, housing, and other necessities.
"It would amount to a 30% cut to all other federal programs," the report estimates."That's a 30% cut to the [National Institutes of Health], opioid addiction and mental health treatment, housing assistance, child care and child nutrition, law enforcement and public safety, science and innovation, and veteran assistance programs."
"This report makes clear that when House Republicans throw out ideas like 'going back to 2022 funding levels,' which Speaker McCarthy and MAGA Republicans in the House want to do, they aren't actually proposing a 'freeze,'" Murray said Wednesday."They are calling for drastic, draconian cuts that will hurt families in every corner of the country, undermine our economy, jeopardize our national security, and limit our future.
"If Republicans do as many promise and 'protect defense spending,' the cuts could surge as high as 30%," Whitehouse continued."The arithmetic is devastating for them. And all of this is supposedly to deal with a national debt that they deliberately made worse with massive revenue losses because they lowered tax rates for their corporate and billionaire friends and donors.
