Biden: GOP Budget Bill Is ‘Cruel

Former U.S. president strongly criticizes ⁢congressional approval of Trump-era budget bill.

According to webangah News Agency, the controversial Trump-era budget bill, which cuts taxes ​while slashing government ⁤support programs, has finally passed in the U.S. Congress. The move has drawn widespread criticism, notably ⁢among Democrats.

Former U.S. President joe Biden condemned the legislation on his personal X (formerly​ twitter) account, stating: “The Republican⁣ budget​ bill is not just reckless-it’s ruthlessly crafted.” ⁢ He emphasized that the ‍bill⁢ “drastically scales back public health programs ⁤and strips healthcare coverage⁤ from millions‍ of Americans.”

Biden further warned that the legislation would force rural hospitals to close and eliminate food ⁤assistance for veterans and seniors.

The former president‌ asserted that energy bills would “skyrocket”‍ once the bill takes effect, noting it ​would add $4 trillion to‌ the national debt while potentially triggering severe cuts to⁤ public health⁣ funding.

“All this⁢ just to hand massive tax⁤ breaks to ⁣billionaires,” biden remarked. “Hardworking Americans deserve better.”
