Despite Republicans’ hollow promises, it's mathematically impossible to balance the budget, make permanent the Trump tax giveaways to the wealthy, and avoid cuts to Medicare, Social Security, veterans’ programs, & defense without raising revenue. The MAGA pledge is a farce. https://t.co/D09q2pS6Io — PolitiTweet.org

MAGA Republicans are threatening to tank our economy and hurt workers and families across the country. We MUST reject these proposals. Find the full CBO report on the arithmetic problem Republicans have on their hands here: https://t.co/fWvpBjouD0 (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Infrastructure funding would be eliminated. FEMA would be eliminated. The Children’s Health Insurance Program would be eliminated. NIH would be eliminated. National parks would close. They would cut THOUSANDS of federal programs & harm MILLIONS—and still not balance the budget. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans follow-through on their cuts: Commercial air travel would shut down. Federal school lunch programs would be eliminated. The Border Patrol would be eliminated. Crop insurance programs would be eliminated. Grants to fight the opioid epidemic would be eliminated. — PolitiTweet.org

Republican math doesn’t add up. Balancing the budget in 10 years is IMPOSSIBLE if Republicans keep their (dubious) promises and leave Social Security, Medicare, defense and veterans’ benefits alone while also making permanent the Trump tax breaks for the very wealthy.

Republican math doesn’t add up. Balancing the budget in 10 years is IMPOSSIBLE if Republicans keep Social Security, Medicare, defense and veterans’ benefits whole while also making permanent the Trump tax breaks for the very wealthy. https://t.co/a7UuvmwEz1 — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, President Biden laid forth his plan to build a fairer and more stable America. These overdue investments will lower costs for everyday families while finally making the well-off and well-connected pay their fair share. https://t.co/1vTRSgpipW — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden's Budget lowers costs for child care, housing, health care, and education, all while ensuring the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. @SenWhitehouse calls a hearing to discuss the President's Budget with OMB Director @ShalandaYoung46. https://t.co/wwEbl4c58n — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @POTUS and the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is better equipped to respond to the needs of taxpayers. ‼️On top of that, @USCBO projects that IRS funding to crack down on wealthy/corporate tax cheats will reduce the deficit by $100 billion https://t.co/ea0lFvuJNQ — PolitiTweet.org

Few things make a bigger difference to families than child care. President Biden’s Budget would increase child care options for 16 million kids, lower costs for parents, & restore the Child Tax Credit—policies that are good for families & our economy. https://t.co/g9xsKfmPMO — PolitiTweet.org

By risking default, House Republicans are not only jeopardizing our economy– they’re weakening our national security. Defaulting would send a terrible message to Putin, his oligarch cronies, and our allies who have stood with us in defense of Ukraine. https://t.co/aZtCYbwrv8 — PolitiTweet.org

These 3 scenarios make it abundantly clear that we MUST: —reject brinkmanship —raise the debt ceiling —protect the full faith and credit of the United States (Source: Moody’s Analytics) — PolitiTweet.org

A MAGA Republican deal would cause lasting economic damage, essentially destroying a year’s worth of growth over the next 10 years. Even a decade later, there would still be 1 million fewer jobs in the economy. We cannot cut our way to prosperity. — PolitiTweet.org

Scenario 3—Republicans get what they want: Deep cuts to balance the budget without any new revenues. The result? A recession in 2024, 2.6 million jobs lost, and unemployment near 6%. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Scenario 2—Republicans allow the U.S. to default for weeks as a long standoff ensues. The result? We have a severe recession. The economy gets 4% smaller, 7 million jobs are lost, and unemployment doubles to above 8% https://t.co/ZVQJ8rfb98 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Even if they default for only a few days, the economy enters recession, the U.S. loses a million jobs, and GDP shrinks by nearly 0.5%. The government will pay higher interest rates FOREVER. House Republicans should not be planning to push the U.S. over this cliff. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Scenario 1—Republicans pass a law to pay only some of our bills if they cause default. The result? Millions of families and businesses don’t get paid on time, markets crash, Republicans quickly change course, but the damage is done. https://t.co/O57jfcxOC4 — PolitiTweet.org

By threatening default, MAGA Republicans are steering our economy toward unprecedented chaos. Here are 3 possible scenarios from their debt brinkmanship and default threats. Spoiler alert: All of them would be disasters for U.S. workers and families. 🧵 https://t.co/vRdqwsvK5E — PolitiTweet.org

Under President Biden’s leadership, we’re building the economy from the bottom up and middle out while finally making the wealthiest and best connected to pay their fair share in taxes. All while not raising taxes on anyone making less than $400,000. https://t.co/y48IV253VB — PolitiTweet.org
