YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Eugene Puryear will discuss the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now entering its third week, as Republicans refuse to budge on cuts to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies that would strip healthcare from over 14 million Americans. He explains how Republicans are trying to slash $1.1trillion from Medicaid & social programs, while giving $1.4 trillion in tax breaks to people making over $500K. “If you think they’re robbing the poor to pay the rich, you’re right."
