"#Austerity in this bill is going to be particularly impactful.

The stimulus in this bill is going to be esp non-impactful.

Poor ppl spend all the💰they've back into the economy. The Bill cuts their after tax income.

Rich ppl invest all the excess money they have into FIN assets. This doesn’t lead to economic growth."

"Budget law:🚨would make things worse, esp over the medium & LT, with slower growth & higher interest rates."

“The UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC this morning that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid did not reach them in time.

Five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday but Fletcher described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population’s needs.”

“The IPC’s results, published in summary form on 12 May, estimated that 925,000 Gazans (44 per cent) were already experiencing ‘emergency’ acute food insecurity – close to the starvation threshold.

A further 244,000 (12 per cent) were in ‘catastrophe’, meaning they had fallen below that threshold.”

Gaza:

“The most vulnerable – infants, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and others needing special diets – are already starving.

The very poorest…are already wasting away as their internal organs suffer irreparable damage.”

[Pictures and videos of toddlers having starved to death are appearing daily on social media, look them up if you wish -ed.]

"Almost 300 million people are at risk of dying of starvation, according to an analysis published as acute food insecurity continues to soar. It is the sixth consecutive year that the number of people facing 'high levels of acute food insecurity' has grown, reaching 295.3 million according to the latest Global Report on Food Crises. More than 95% of them lived in the Gaza Strip or Sudan."

"Asterisk magazine commissioned expert forecasts of the likely effects of cuts to five broad USAID efforts: PEPFAR (the HIV/AIDS relief effort), anti-malaria programs, anti-tuberculosis programs, nutrition programs, and programs on water, sanitation, and hygiene. These forecasts go deep on the details, but just to share the topline:"
