Alexandria, Va. – Sister Donna Markham OP, PhD, president & CEO of Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), expressed grave concern and frustration over President Trump’s proposed budget.
“While CCUSA supports efforts to improve vital safety-net programs needed to move people out of poverty and protect life, the disastrous, albeit cruel, cuts to anti-poverty programs such as SNAP, Medicaid and jobs training will have a devastating effect on millions of vulnerable individuals and families who depend on them.
“Rather than balancing the budget on the backs of those who are poor while shoring up military spending, our budgetary policies should reflect compassion for those most fragile and, at the same time, should allocate funds to protect safety and the common good.”
