Cue the evil laugh

Was Donald Trump sitting in a gilded chair at Mar-a-Lago gleefully rubbing his hands together when he came up with his immoral budget plan? Cue the evil laugh.

At least we can stop wondering how Trump and the GOP are going to pay for those tax cuts for the ultra-rich and giant corporations.

This budget proposes burning our social safety net to the ground in ways we've never seen before.

What are some of the lowlights?

Trump's budget punishes so many. Hardworking families struggling to get by. Sick people fighting for their lives. Senior citizens. Children.

This budget literally takes food from babies – slashing $200 million from SNAP, our anti-hunger program that helps struggling families put food on the table. And goes back on Trump's campaign promise to protect Medicare and Medicaid.

It's immoral and cruel.

My message to Paul Ryan and the House Republicans is simple: No way!

Anyone who embraces this agenda is heartless. And if they seriously think that tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans should come at the expense of poor and working families, they've got another thing coming.

I'm up for the fight. America is better than this.
