This week, about 80% of House Republicans, represented by the @RepublicanStudy Committee, has proposed a controversial budget plan. The plan includes raising the retirement age for Social Security, slashing Social Security funding by $1.5 trillion, ending in vitro fertilization (IVF), implementing a total ban on abortions, allowing insurance companies to charge more for pre-existing conditions, and repealing drug price negotiations. Additionally, it seeks to extend tax cuts initiated during the Trump administration for the ultra-rich. In response, @HouseDemocrats, including Rep. Escobar and Rep. Ritchie, have voiced strong opposition, vowing to fight against the proposed changes. Rep. Chip Roy criticized Republicans supporting the omnibus bill, highlighting a 'total lack of backbone and leadership' within the party. Meanwhile, President Biden has proposed a budget aimed at investing in American families and targeting wealthy tax cheats, with a hearing scheduled to discuss these plans further.
