"THREAD: This morning, @POTUS released his FY2020 #TrumpBudget, which is yet another unserious proposal that, if enacted, would jeopardize our nation's security and economic well-being. Here are a few questions to ask the GOP about the President's budget:"

"1. How can Republicans justify an $8.6 billion request to fund a border wall that Congress just rejected and that President Trump's former chief of staff John Kelly recently said would be "a waste of money?" #TrumpBudget"

"2. How will Republicans explain to seniors that they want to cut $845 billion from #Medicare? #TrumpBudget"

"3. After the American people resoundingly rejected Republican efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act in the last election, why would the Administration propose repealing the #ACA once again? #TrumpBudget"

"4. Are Republicans prepared to admit they are NOT the party of fiscal responsibility, because the budget doesn't balance for at least 15 years -- breaking President Trump's campaign promise to balance the budget within eight years? #TrumpBudget"

"5. Given the trillion dollar deficits projected for four straight years in this budget, will Republicans admit that tax cuts do NOT pay for themselves? #TrumpBudget"

"6. Why would Republicans extend tax cuts for the wealthy in the #GOPtaxscam when the facts show that the law only enriched investors and hasn't resulted in the job creation or economic growth that the Administration promised? #TrumpBudget"

"7. How can Republicans seriously propose using the overseas contingency operations account (OCO) to boost defense funding at the risk of non-defense funding when even Mick Mulvaney has called OCO a "slush fund and gimmick?" #TrumpBudget"

"8. Do Republicans have any real plan or detail as to how they plan to spend the $200 billion the Admin has requested for #infrastructure? Will they follow their previous proposal that was rejected out of hand by Dems & Republicans for lack of detail or seriousness? #TrumpBudget"

"9. In light of dangerous weather events across the country, including deadly tornadoes in Alabama, why does the budget cut funding levels for #climatechange and protections for clean air and water from the @EPA? #TrumpBudget"

"10. Why doesn't the budget include investments to assist small businesses that have been endangered by President Trump's economic policies? #TrumpBudget"
