Robbing the American people to line Republican pockets.
It’s outrageous that our elected officials would rather funnel our money overseas, to places like Argentina and Hungary, than invest in healthcare or help families put food on the table through SNAP.
How do they justify this?

The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.
