Donald Trump’s priorities were obvious from the day he got inaugurated, when he seated three men behind him on the stage who, together, owned more wealth than the bottom half of our society. And this didn’t include the richest man in the world, who is now stripping many Americans of their livelihoods.

The Republicans have just voted for a budget that will increase the deficit by $3 trillion. They have included tax cuts that will benefit the richest Americans the most. Do billionaires really need more money?

They voted down a Democratic amendment that would have saved Medicaid from cuts. Did you know Medicaid pays for two-thirds of nursing home stays? Are you having trouble paying for your medical expenses, such as prescription drugs? If you are part of the working class, you should be very worried about the fact that this administration has shown no real concern for the working class.
