Extreme Republicans Continue to Push MAGAnomics Agenda
Apr 4, 2024 | Talking Points
- MAGA Republicans’ economic trickle-down plan has failed Americans: it created new incentives to ship jobs overseas, hurt main-street businesses, and blew up the deficit.
- Just this week, MAGA Mike Johnson is kicking off his speakership by doubling down on a failed MAGAnomics agenda that would add to our deficit, give a hall pass to corporate tax cheats, and undermine the safety of our allies around the world.
- This is the latest example of Republicans doubling down on their extreme MAGAnomics agenda that would harm the American economy. They want to:
- Cut taxes even further for the wealthy and big corporations,
- Cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid,
- Raise costs for families by gutting investments in the middle class.
- Meanwhile, Bidenomics is about growing the economy from the bottom up and middle out – and it’s working:
- Nearly 14 million jobs created,
- Historic annual rate of 4.9% GDP growth,
- Record high wealth for American families last year,
- Inflation has fallen 60% since last summer,
- Businesses have announced more than $600 billion in investments in manufacturing and clean energy.
