Ryan's health care plan punishes the very people Trump vowed to help. It would raise premiums by as much as 25 percent on people between 50 and 64, one core of the Trump voter base. It would hurt working-class voters whose incomes put them just above the Medicaid threshold.

The Trump budget contradicts the populism he campaigned on. It eliminates or cuts organizations like the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative that are important to people from Tennessee and West Virginia up through Ohio and Michigan. It cuts job-training and road-building programs. It does almost nothing to help expand opportunity for the working class and almost everything to serve defense contractors and the national security state.

Scapegoating immigrants was Trump's fascist appeal to the baser instincts of the working class in order to get himself elected. He will continue to blame them and the liberals for the woes of working class folks. That should appeal to you very much.
