Leader Schumer Statement On Senate Republicans Releasing Their Budget Which Would Gut Vital Programs To Give Tax Breaks To Billionaires

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on the Senate Republicans’ budget plan which would gut vital programs, provide tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy, and inflate our national debt:

“This is the Republican agenda: billionaires win and Americans lose.

“As Americans start to feel the pain from the brazen Republican cuts, Republicans are running full speed ahead to pass their plan to gut vital programs, throw Americans off Medicaid, to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. 

“If House Republicans go along with this dangerous plan hatched by Senate Republicans, they will pave the way for Republicans to add $37 trillion to the debt and set fire to any credibility they have to complain about debt and deficits.”
