Don't Be Fooled: The Hidden Republican Agenda Behind the 'Fiscal Commission' Vote Revealed

When people show you who they are, believe them. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), in his very first address after winning the Speakership, urged the immediate establishment of an expedited committee that could confidentially review and make reductions to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The White House termed the committee the death squad because significant cuts to these programs would, in essence, be a death sentence for our most vulnerable community members.

Speaking of vulnerable community members, since the child tax credit was removed by Congressional Republicans, child poverty and hardship have been on the rise. Just before Thanksgiving, 16% of households with children¹ reported sometimes or often not having enough to eat in the past week, up from 10.4% in the summer of 2021, while families were getting support from a temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC). Children and families are being made to suffer while Republicans push for more tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations.

I believe in the power of the people. People Power United members believe in the possibility of change and work to make it happen. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
