CRFB Reaction to Budget Resolution Adoption
“This budget sets the stage for the largest deficit increase in history – an unprecedented bill that requires just $4 billion in savings to offset up to $5.8 trillion in deficits. What an absolute disgrace.”
This budget is a DISGRACE, according to CRFB. It’s worse than that. It pushes debt levels so high that the country might not be able to defend itself in the future. The wealthy are not only screwing the poor. They are preparing the US to be a second-tier nation.
“The budget plan that House Republicans passed today paves the way to take Medicaid health coverage and food assistance through SNAP away from millions of people, to partially pay for huge tax giveaways for wealthy households and businesses that will drive up deficits and fiscal risk.”
