‘We’re All Going to Die’ [WATCH]

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s proposed budget legislation on Wednesday, referring to the bill as the “We’re All Going to Die Act” in response to its projected impact on Medicaid spending.

The comment came during a press conference in which Schumer warned that Republican senators who support the legislation risk severe political fallout.

He suggested that backing the Trump administration’s budget could have consequences for constituents who rely on government healthcare programs, as well as for the lawmakers themselves during re-election campaigns.

“For many Americans, health care coverage is the difference between life and death,” Schumer said.

“Why are they being so mean? Why are they being so cruel? And why are they being so politically tenured at best, suicidal at worst? All to give tax breaks to billionaires.”

The nickname Schumer gave the bill references a recent exchange involving Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), who during a town hall event faced questions from constituents critical of proposed reductions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

When confronted with concerns that such cuts could endanger lives, Ernst responded, “Well, we’re all going to die,” prompting pushback and headlines.

Schumer seized on Ernst’s remark as emblematic of what he sees as indifference within the Republican Party toward low-income Americans.

He argued that the Trump-backed budget reflects the interests of a narrow group of wealthy individuals who prioritize tax cuts over social welfare programs.

“Donald Trump is, and his colleagues are, in total obeisance to a very, very small group of very wealthy, greedy people who say, ‘I don’t care what you do to everyone else, cut my taxes. And by the way, get rid of any regulations,’” Schumer said.

The budget proposal, which President Trump has described as a “big, beautiful bill,” includes provisions aimed at reducing federal spending, including reforms to Medicaid eligibility and adjustments to nutrition assistance programs.

Supporters of the bill argue that the proposed changes are necessary to control long-term federal deficits and reduce government dependence.

Critics, including Schumer and other Democratic leaders, argue that the changes would disproportionately impact vulnerable populations and leave millions without access to essential healthcare services.

Schumer’s comments reflect broader tensions in Congress over the future of entitlement spending and federal health programs.

The budget package is expected to face substantial opposition in the Democratic-controlled Senate, though it has received support from House Republicans and several GOP senators aligned with President Trump.

The budget debate comes amid ongoing negotiations over fiscal priorities heading into the next fiscal year, with both parties preparing for policy battles over spending, taxes, and healthcare ahead of the fall legislative session.

The Trump administration has continued to emphasize its commitment to fiscal responsibility and reducing the size of the federal government through spending reforms and pro-growth economic policies.

President Trump is expected to address the budget proposal in upcoming remarks, where further details on the administration’s spending priorities will be outlined.
