Republicans Divided On Major Issue
In yet another coordinated push against commonsense economic reform, over 300 left-wing advocacy groups are pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to kill a House Republican budget plan designed to rein in reckless federal spending.
Who’s Behind the Push? Familiar Liberal Names
The letter, organized by the progressive health lobbying group Families USA, was signed by organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and the NAACP—groups known for pushing expansive government programs and opposing border security initiatives.
Their central complaint? The House’s budget resolution includes much-needed reductions to out-of-control entitlement spending. Specifically, the House calls for a minimum of $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, with a broader target of $2 trillion across federal programs.
What they conveniently ignore: the resolution preserves the pro-growth Trump tax cuts of 2017 and includes a $300 billion boost in funding for border security and national defense—priorities that millions of American families support.
What the Budget Plan Really Does: Protects Taxpayers, Prioritizes National Security
At the heart of the plan is a commitment to fiscal responsibility and long-term Medicare and Medicaid stability. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has been tasked with identifying $880 billion in savings—ensuring wasteful spending is addressed without compromising care for seniors or veterans.
Despite these sensible steps, liberal groups are sounding the alarm, claiming these reforms are “catastrophic” and would “betray voters.” In reality, the proposal ensures retirement programs like Social Security and Medicare are preserved—not hollowed out by endless expansions of government.
The Real Threat: Out-of-Control Government Spending
While families across America are tightening their belts and planning for retirement, Washington’s far-left activists are fighting to keep the federal government on an unsustainable path. The Congressional Budget Office recently reported that such deep deficits can’t be sustained without hurting future generations—or risking drastic cuts down the road.
Instead of supporting economic policies that protect Medicare, lower health care costs, and secure our borders, these organizations are demanding more spending, more bureaucracy, and more dependence on Washington.
Where Conservatives Stand: Fiscal Sanity, Strong Borders, and Trust in American Families
President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts sparked economic growth, increased take-home pay, and brought jobs back to the U.S. This budget plan ensures those tax cuts continue while addressing the looming crisis of a $34 trillion federal debt.
For older Americans concerned about their retirement security, the future of health care, and rising costs, this plan delivers. It reflects a belief that American seniors deserve stability—not socialism.
Bottom Line: The House budget offers a blueprint for national strength—strong borders, secure retirements, and a responsible government that works for the people. The Senate must stand firm and reject the pressure from radical interest groups.
