Trump's Education Cuts Will Impact You

​

The Trump administration wants to make painful cuts to education and healthcare in order to slash taxes for billionaires. The administration’s plan to “block grant” federal education programs and gut the U.S. Department of Education would rob 26 million students living in poverty of critical services and 7.5 million students with disabilities of special education support. It would eliminate career and technical education for 12 million students, threatening their future job opportunities. Slashing Medicaid and student loans could strip healthcare coverage from 10.3 million people and end access to student loans, making college unaffordable for another 10 million working-class families.

The current administration's proposals would have severe consequences for our education system:

• 26 million students in poverty would lose critical services

• 7.5 million students with disabilities would lose special education support

• 12 million students would lose access to career and technical education

• 10.3 million people could lose healthcare coverage through Medicaid cuts

• Student loan changes would make college unaffordable for 10 million working-class families
