A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Over 150 people in #PA11 were so fed up with their GOP Rep. Lloyd Smucker’s lack of a town hall that they held one instead. Smucker won his district with 63% of the vote in November and now his constituents are holding mock town halls. Something is happening. lancasteronline.com/news/politic...

Certainly doesn’t look to me as though the end goal is cutting government spending… They’re looking to reroute $$$ to the oligarchs. Firstly, by funneling our tax dollars into tax cuts for the oligarchs. Secondly, by creating government contracts for the oligarchs by privatizing our services.
