0:00.0 | So, the hideous bill that the House passed that will make everything more expensive, from |
0:04.5 | healthcare to food to what we buy in stores, just so we can give more money to rich people, |
0:09.3 | has moved on to the Senate. The bill that will gut health care and food assistance for millions |
0:14.2 | of Americans is a complete betrayal of the American people. As it turns out, the majority of |
0:19.6 | Americans don't even earn enough to afford |
0:21.6 | the basic quality of life. The average person is drowning in debt. Our job market is shrinking. |
0:26.6 | Our prices are rising, and there could be a recession coming. But thanks to this Republican bill, |
0:31.8 | people are now justifiably terrified they're also going to be kicked off of their health insurance |

1:17.0 | terrifying. So this one truly is terrifying. Yes. Think of it this way. You know, people talk about |
1:23.2 | budgets and it sounds so, I don't know, numberish, right? And technical, who knows, who cares. |
1:30.4 | A budget for a nation is like a statement of your values. What really, really, really matters to you. |
1:38.9 | And this particular budget bill that's coming through right now has two key parts to it. One is the cuts |
1:46.2 | and the plan is to cut, as you said, health care for little babies, access to things like |
1:53.4 | wheelchairs and home health aides for people with significant disabilities so they can live independently. |
