America Is Not a Billionaire’s Playground – I Will Not Support a Budget That Hurts the People
As the federal budget debate unfolds in Washington, let me be clear: I will not support any budget that slashes essential services, dismantles infrastructure, or strips healthcare from hardworking Americans. These are real lives—not just numbers on a spreadsheet—and I refuse to stand by while an unelected billionaire manipulates our nation’s future for personal gain.
Who Is Controlling This Budget?
Not the American people. Not their elected representatives. Instead, an unelected billionaire with unchecked power is pushing policies designed to benefit corporations and the ultra-wealthy—while everyday Americans pay the price. This budget isn’t about fiscal responsibility. It’s about shifting resources away from working families and into the pockets of those who need them least.
This Is About Principles, Not Partisan Politics
Americans deserve a government that prioritizes fairness, stability, and opportunity—not one that sacrifices public services to appease billionaires. Reckless policies that weaken communities and increase economic hardship are unacceptable.

The Real Impact of Budget Cuts
These policies don’t just affect spreadsheets—they devastate lives:
- ❌ Children go without food and education.
- ❌ Farmers struggle to survive.
- ❌ Seniors can’t afford life-saving medication.
- ❌ Veterans lose the support they were promised.
- ❌ Working families lose access to healthcare, public safety, and jobs that sustain our economy.
I Stand with the American People
I refuse to let an unelected billionaire hijack our democracy and dictate a budget that benefits only the wealthiest few. And I will not be silent.
💬 America deserves a budget built on wisdom, compassion, and a commitment to the people—not billionaire greed. I won’t back down.
