WASHINGTON — Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Greg Casar (TX-35) released the following statement after the House passed the GOP’s budget reconciliation package, sending it to President Trump’s desk:
“This bill is a betrayal of working Americans. So that billionaires can buy bigger Yachts, millions of working people will be unable to afford to go to the doctor, put food on the table, or keep the lights on.”
“For years, Washington Republicans have talked a big game about becoming the party of working people. This vote should be the final nail in the coffin of that idea.
“In the end, Washington Republicans will simply betray the working class people they won over in the last election. They’ve done what they always do: take from the working class to give to the rich.
“As Democrats, we must make sure they never live that down.”
