something has to give. I really do not know how many are going to survive!!
Paul Ryan's tax plan handed $5 billion to big banks in just the first three months of 2018, and Republicans want to cut our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security to pay for it. Meanwhile, the American people are taking on more debt than ever and struggling to make ends meet.
