Rural America has strongly backed President Trump and the GOP, yet the support is not reciprocated. Trump's Medicaid cuts will close rural hospitals, he cut rural broadband, and the rescissions bill would devastate public broadcasting stations in rural areas. Large parts of rural America already have no local newspaper, so a local NPR station may be the only source of news, of information about school snow days of emergency information. On the west side of my town of Yamhill, OR, for example, there are some areas where there is no easy Internet access, and radio is an absolute lifeline. Plus, pre-K is often not available in rural America, and that makes Sesame Street and similar shows particularly valuable. So I hope GOP members of Congress will understand what's at stake with the rescissions bill and will reject it.
