Dem Rep. Boyle: GOP’s Budget Proposal Is ‘a Betrayal of the American Middle Class’

EXCERPT:

BOYLE: “And, simply put, what Republicans are doing through this budget is a betrayal of the American middle class. They just waged an entire presidential campaign, that was really geared on what folks thought was the number one issue, and that was making life more affordable for most Americans, especially after the inflation crisis that occurred beginning in 2021 as a result of the pandemic. Well, here we are, the first big budget, the economic agenda, not just for the next year, but over the next decade. And what we see is $4.5 trillion of tax cuts, almost all of which go to the richest one percent of Americans. But that’s not all. The way they proposed to pay for that $4.5 trillion of tax cuts is through deficit financing, combined with almost $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid and ObamaCare. So, at the end of the day, it’s going to be middle class families that pay for a tax cut that mostly goes to the top one percent.”
