The new federal budget continues to advance, thanks to Rep. Juan Ciscomani's vote to pass it two weeks ago.
His vote aims to slash Medicaid. For the bottom 20% of our population (based on income) this translates to a 7.4 % loss of income. Meanwhile, the top 1% would see a 3.9% increase in income — billionaire greed.
In his vote, he aimed to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts for the rich. When finished, the total price tag to taxpayers for that exceeds $4 trillion, or $15,000 per person. So, for a family of four, $60,000 has been stripped from their pockets over the ten years of the tax breaks. Two weeks ago, Ciscomani voted to renew that insane tax policy.
That is rampant corruption, plain and simple. Ciscomani has no town halls planned. He is hiding because he is a corrupt coward. Remember that next election.
