GOP Budget Plan: It’s Not Selling Very Well

New video from the DNC:

From Wisconsin to Florida and everywhere in between Republican House Members are under fire from angry constituents at town hall meetings for voting for a budget that slashes critical initiatives for seniors, the young, the poor and working families while preserving subsidies for major oil companies and tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. Much of the anger being expressed at GOP House Members stems from Republicans’ effort to end Medicare as we know it and require seniors to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to preserve tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

While the President’s plan calls for shared sacrifice, the GOP plan put forward by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan and passed by the Republican dominated House, places the burden for getting our fiscal house in order on middle and working class Americans, seniors and young people while protecting the wealthy and big oil. It’s no wonder the GOP budget plan isn’t selling very well back home.
