Leader Schumer Statement On House Republicans' Harmful Budget Passage

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement following House Republicans' passage of a budget resolution that paves the way for trillions in tax breaks for the wealthy while slashing vital programs for American families:

“Republicans are ready to throw Americans off Medicaid and SNAP so that they can give massive tax breaks to billionaires. This is the Republican agenda: billionaires win and Americans lose. Americans will be aghast when they learn what’s in the Republican tax bill.

Every single Democrat in Congress voted against the Republican tax scam. This is just the beginning and Senate Democrats will keep fighting with everything we have for hard working Americans.”
