Senator,
I often volunteer at feeding south Florida. I live here and want to help my community, and can honestly state there is a need. And a growing one at that. With the cost of living compared against the wages, and the rising cost of food, people don't have a lot of options.
The food bank gives them an option. But through various actions of this administration, I am seeing less food being brought in, and Florida and federal donations are lower.
Now with the budget that eliminates SNAP and other programs, there will be even less. And our neighbors - your constituents who are legally here - will need to rely on food banks more than ever. But their funding will also go away.
So essentially in approving this budget, you would be creating more issues than you'd be solving. I would think the proposed tax savings for the ultra wealthy would be insignificant in the big picture.
People work hard and still can't make ends meet. They need a little help. Don't cut their benefits!
