The 2027 budget proposal has arrived, and it is a mask-off moment for this administration. It is a blueprint for a country where the vulnerable are abandoned, our planet is left to burn, and our future is auctioned off to the highest bidder in the defense industry.
While they ask for an astronomical $1.5 TRILLION for the military—including literal billions for "modern" battleships that many experts call obsolete—they are stripping the marrow from the programs that actually keep Americans alive and thriving.
💔 How They Are Gutting Our Communities:
Starving Children: Cutting $240 million from the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program. They are quite literally taking food out of the mouths of hungry students.
Killing the Future of Work: Fully eliminating the Job Corps. For thousands of young Americans, this is their only path to a trade and a stable life.
Stopping Life-Saving Research: Slashing $5 billion from the NIH. If you or a loved one is waiting for a cure for cancer, Alzheimer’s, or heart disease, this budget says your life isn't worth the investment.
Abandoning Our Earth: Cutting the EPA by 50% and canceling $15 billion in clean energy funding. In the middle of a climate crisis, this is nothing short of ecological sabotage.
Assaulting Education & Equity: Cutting $354 million from HBCUs and $8.5 billion from K-12 programs. This is a direct attack on the next generation and the institutions that build equity.
Destroying the Safety Net: Eliminating Food for Peace, cutting $10.7 billion from housing, and slashing $2.5 billion from clean drinking water.
🚢 The "Dream Military" vs. The American Nightmare
This isn't about "security." You aren't secure when you can't afford a home. You aren't secure when your water isn't drinkable. You aren't secure when the programs that help seniors and youth find jobs are deleted from the ledger.
This budget funnels $1,500,000,000,000 into a war machine while leaving the American people out to dry. It is regressive, it is cruel, and it is a betrayal of the working class.
✊ WE MUST FIGHT BACK.
A budget is a moral document, and this one is morally bankrupt. Call your representatives. Demand they reject this "Lawless Budget" and invest in PEOPLE, not PROFIT.
