Washington, D.C.—The Republican playbook Project 2025 supports policies that would undercut working families by making health care and higher education less affordable while rolling back climate protections as detailed in a report by Joint Economic Committee Democrats. 

 

Project 2025 lays out a bleak vision of America where the president would have unchecked power to raise prices on health care and education. The report found several disturbing policies that would hurt Americans including:

• Ending free school meals programs for low-income children — forcing up to 20 million kids to go hungry
• Putting lifetime limits or caps on Medicaid coverage — threatening health care coverage for 18.6 million low-income Americans
• Gutting EPA enforcement by directing the agency to ignore effects of greenhouse gases on public health and the environment

 

“Republican’s Project 2025 is a radical agenda that rolls back decades of progress we’ve made toward a better future for everyone,” said Chairman Martin Heinrich. “If Republicans get their way, low-income children will go hungry, seniors will be forced to choose between life-saving medication and putting food on the table, and the planet our kids inherit will be in jeopardy. We can’t let that happen”.
