'If all you knew about our nation’s economy in 2020 is what the President told you at his State of the Union, you could be forgiven for assuming the United States was a land without hunger or need.' From mboteach of nwlc:
At the National Women’s Law Center , we examined programs on the chopping block in Trump’s budget across five agencies that most closely relate to economic opportunity. We found thatof the cuts were to programs that disproportionately serve women, children and families.
The President’s budget enshrines his plan to unilaterally lower the federal poverty threshold, which will result in millions of people losing access to means-tested programs like nutrition assistance, Medicaid, and Head Start over time; expands draconian time limits on Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program ; and proposes 50- to 65-year-olds should lose benefits if they can’t document sufficient work hours for more than three months.
While the damage this President can do on his own is awful enough, the rest of budget presents the terrifying vision Trump has for our country, even if he needs Congressional approval to enact it. Families should not be misled by fig leaves on paid leave and child care. In his State of the Union, Trump touted proposals which, like other sham efforts the administration has embraced, excludes many people who need paid leave, like those battling critical health conditions or caring for family members.
