Report: Extreme MAGA Republican Proposal Will Hurt Montana Families

Reuters: Republican-leaning states will be “hit hardest” by Republicans’ proposed budget cuts

Ryan Zinke and extreme MAGA Republicans are work-shopping a debt ceiling proposal that would hurt people in Republican-leaning states more than Democratic-leaning states, according to a new analysis from Reuters.

The latest proposal – which still has not been formally made public – includes raising taxes on lower-income Americans, stiffening work requirements for food stamp beneficiaries, and slashing funding for programs that administer Social Security benefits to America’s seniors.

The House Republican plan would hurt families in states that Donald Trump won in 2020 – including Montana – more than Biden-voting states. 

DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia
“Ryan Zinke is not serious about solving the everyday problems facing Montanans. After playing politics with the U.S. economy, Zinke and extreme MAGA Republicans are attempting to push through budget cuts that would be disastrous for working families in Montana – stiffening work requirements for the afflicted to receive food stamps and making it more difficult for federal agencies to administer hard-earned Social Security benefits.”
