Five Reasons to NOT Vote for Chuck Grassley
-
He voted for the Trump tax breaks for the ultra-rich. The legislation’s provisions that marginally help middle class families expire, while corporate tax breaks are permanent. The national debt is projected to rise $1.9 trillion over 10 years as a result of the legislation.
-
He has consistently opposed legislation, five times, that would give the Federal Government the ability to negotiate for lower drug prices.
-
While touting his support for law enforcement, he has derided the FBI, and has warned Iowans about IRS agents forcibly entering their homes with assault weapons.
-
He has consistently supported since 2015 Saudi Arabia’s use of deadly force in Yemen’s civil war. Instead, he has always endorsed the U.S.’ essential role in the Saudi Coalition’s military efforts.
-
He has voted at least three times to deny proposed health benefits for veterans
