Chuck Schumer: Trump and the GOP Put Forward a Bill That Would Force Americans to Pay for His Billion-Dollar Ballroom

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Instead of listening to the American people, Donald Trump and the GOP put forward a reconciliation bill that would force Americans to pay for Trump's billion-dollar ballroom and tens of billions more for Trump's masked agents while including zero, zero dollars to bring down American costs. Ask Americans, how many people want to see a billion dollars for a ballroom and no money to help reduce the cost of food, the cost of electricity, the cost of housing, the cost of childcare? When will Republicans take the hint? When will they realize that Americans want lower costs, not a gold-plated ballroom for our billionaire president? It seems all the president's concern with these days are vanity projects, not things that make the American people's lives better. Democrats will fight Republicans' ballroom bill tooth and nail, and Republicans here in the Senate should do the same if they have any sense. Can you believe it? You guys are walking off a cliff.”
