AMERICAN FAMILIES WILL PAY FOR REPUBLICAN TAX CUT
(Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because, just 2 days
ago, my Republican colleagues jammed through a budget plan that puts
the 0.1 percent above hardworking Americans.
The Republican budget would give $4.5 trillion to CEOs and big
corporations.
Who pays for the tax cuts? American families just trying to make ends
meet.
The Republican budget cuts at least $880 billion from Medicaid. It
doesn't matter whether someone is a Democrat, a Republican, an
Independent, or a nonvoter. Americans across the country will either
lose healthcare or see their premiums increase.
All the Federal workers that Elon Musk and DOGE decided to fire for
no justifiable reason will also lose their healthcare.
Republicans represent millions and millions of Americans who rely on
Medicaid and CHIP, and none of them, not a single one, voted with these
constituents in mind.
