They’re holding our economy hostage

Stand against the Default on America Act. Friend, Republicans are holding our economy hostage and demanding Democrats cut funding for law enforcement, veterans, families, teachers, and kids. Chuck Schumer and Democrats won't let it happen. But they can't hold the line alone: [Sign your name to BLOCK the Default on America Act now.]( [SIGN ON →]( – Team Schumer ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chuck Schumer Date: Fri, May 5, 2023 Subject: A far-right ransom note [Chuck Schumer]( Friend, Last week, Kevin McCarthy bowed to GOP extremists and passed his Default on America Act -- a destructive bill that would force steep cuts to law enforcement, veterans, families, teachers, and kids. Now they've issued an ultimatum: pass their Default on America Act, or they'll refuse to raise the debt ceiling and force us into a catastrophic economic default. That's not going to happen. Senate Democrats are united in stopping this far-right ransom note, and I need you to stand with us. [Sign your name to STOP the GOP's disastrous Default on America Act.]( [SIGN ON →]( Republicans are holding our country hostage and trying to force us to choose between destroying our economy and their horrific demands. This Republican bill would gut Medicaid for over 20 million Americans, rip away SNAP benefits for over a million recipients, and eliminate Pell grants for tens of thousands of American students every year. It would cut our climate investments, ban student debt relief, and make it easier for the wealthy to cheat on their taxes. And it would cost our country 780,000 jobs by the end of 2024. I'm not exaggerating when I say this bill would be a disaster for America. We need all Americans to understand what's at stake -- and that Republicans are threatening to destroy our economy to fulfill their extremist wish list. [I need you with us.
