Not a word from the Republicans on cutting tax loopholes for the rich and big corporations.... Or cutting the 800 billion a year defense budget that lines the pockets of the Military Industrial Complex...

All the cuts will be on the backs of the poor and needy...

[kimhope]

This is what happens when corporations take over the world.

[MickGough]

This must be the longest suicide note in history.

[YYMe]

Tax the wealthy, corporations, and religions.

[beatmanbeatman]

Did they cut any subsidies to oil companies?

[elsierodgers]

Biden should do an afternoon and prime-time speech on TV. Explaining slowly and methodology what cuts Republicans want and who they would harm.

[spiceyhotpot]

Should also be noted that Republicans passed clean debt ceiling increases under the last Administration 3 times, with Democrat support. If Republicans want cuts, do it with the budget BEFORE spending, not after when the bills that Republicans helped run up, come due.

[Tcb]

And Fox viewers will never be aware of any of this.

[nathanblaylock]

About time we stop this free money train. No more freebies

[MrBeetsGaming]

The fact the media considers cutting spending when we are 31 trillion dollars in debt "grim" is astounding.

[terracebrooks]

Why do they keep getting voting into office?

[catwilliamson]

Is it time for a Democrat to vote that they have no confidence in McCarthy and force a new vote for speaker?

[bonnielovely]

how on earth is “early childhood education programs” something to even consider removing.

this is the fast track to divide the state into rich and poor. the rich can afford to live and take care of their bodies with ease. the poor must work to stay alive in pain

[wrinkleneckbass]

Let's see, anti food assistance, anti healthcare, anti jobs, anti veteran benefits, anti affordable housing, anti education, anti green energy, anti rail safety, anti air safety, but protect the fetus at all cost. Makes total sense.

[leannenewson]

How are these cuts going to assist American people? It's tough enough without being penalized even more 😡

[surlyguvna]

Republicans LOVE withholding. Their lives revolve around it. "Gimme and you get, don't gimme, you get nada." It's also their favored parenting method.

[dronetek]

And what programs do they think people are going to turn to to take care of these children they would have chosen not to carry because they couldn't afford a child?

[JDavidChilders]

I didn't hear any mention of cutting back funding for the military or ending corporate tax breaks.

[stephenallenmusic]

America is beyond broke lol keep printing and spending money we don't have is not a good answer congress needs to balance the budget

[emmanueltrejo]

The government is never the answer to economic policy
