Republican budget has a few big winners, many losers

Government budgets are like box scores in basketball or baseball. If you study the numbers, you can tell who had a good day or bad day. The Republican budget that barely passed in the House will give millionaires a major victory. But millions of working families will be shut out.

Republicans are being very selective in the budget numbers they highlight. They claim that almost all Americans will receive a tax cut. What they don’t mention is how huge those tax cuts will be for the rich compared to everyone else.
