This budget is grossly unfair because it takes $165 billion from Medicaid in order to eliminate the minimum tax on corporations. This could cause over 2 million seniors to lose their Medicaid coverage for longterm care. It is unfair because it enlarges corporate tax deductions. while taking away $82 billion from welfare. pushing over 1.2 million children into poverty and denying Federal benefits to elderly legal immigrants. And. it is unfair because it gives families earning $350.000 a S14.000 tax cut. while increasing taxes for lowincome working Americans by cutting the EITC by $32 billion. affecting 60.000 working families in my district alone. I urge a "NO" note on this budget "wreckconciliation."
