A new report from Mother Jones highlights the toxic agenda of the Republican Study Committee – which represents nearly 75% of the House Republican Conference – if they were to claim a majority. Here is a sample of the GOP’s disastrous plan for America:
-
Raise the Social Security eligibility age, delaying when seniors can access their hard-earned benefits.
-
Block prescription drug pricing reform. After voting against capping insulin costs at $35 per month, the RSC wants to block any further efforts to bring down drug prices.
-
End birthright citizenship. The RSC proposes eliminating the recognition of children born on US soil as automatic US citizens.
-
Eliminate government agencies that protect worker’s rights and help enforce consumer protection laws.
-
Further roll back climate change initiatives. The RSC wants to end all EPA grant programs.
-
Ban abortion nationwide. Overturning Roe wasn’t enough for Republicans – they want to ban a woman’s right to make personal health care decisions nationwide.
-
Attack transgender Americans by reversing government acknowledgment of transgender individuals, forcing them to identify as a gender the government assigns.
-
Put more guns on streets. Voting against commonsense and broadly popular gun reform laws wasn’t enough for the RSC – they want to put more guns on the streets and will make our country more prone to mass shootings.
-
Slash programs that help low-income families heat and cool their homes, put food in kids’ stomachs and help families access health care.
DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia:
“This is the Republicans’ plan for America. The Republican Study Committee’s priority list shows just how dangerous and wrong they are to lead. Voters will reject their backward, cruel agenda this November.”
