This is not what a man who is going to reverse course says. Brace for impact. He doesn’t care about the repercussions or the American people.

Do you know why Americans are angry?
Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.
At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.
We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

They’re cutting Medicaid

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.
