American jobs, the loss of those people who worked their asses off will not be replaced by Americans.

We lose their tax contributions in all categories, and small businesses won’t be able to service the public and may go under.

And since farmers and grocery stores benefit from programs like SNAP, they will suffer as these safety nets are cut.

The economy truly grows from the bottom up. Cut the legs out from under it and it’s like a house built on toothpicks.

I hope we can reverse this at the midterms even as I recognize the hurdles to getting there.
