Democrats Accuse GOP of ‘Betrayal’ of Working People with Sweeping Budget Bill

Democrats are vociferously accusing the Republican Party of a “betrayal” of working people following the passage of Donald Trump’s sweeping budget bill. The legislation, which garnered no Democratic support, has been met with a “storm of outrage” from party leaders who are now preparing to make it a central electoral issue.
The core of the Democratic argument is that the bill prioritizes the interests of billionaires and corporate donors over the needs of average Americans. Cuts to vital social benefits, coupled with permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, are cited as evidence of this perceived betrayal.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has highlighted the bill’s “contradictions,” pointing to the simultaneous expansion of immigration enforcement and the reduction of healthcare and food assistance programs. This, she argues, exposes the GOP’s true priorities.
The depth of Democratic anger is palpable, with many vowing to tirelessly campaign against the bill and its Republican architects. They aim to convince voters that the legislation represents a fundamental abandonment of the working class and a dangerous shift in national priorities.
