Congressman Boyle Statement Condemning Senate Passage of GOP Budget

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-13) released the following statement in response to the 2018 budget resolution passed by Republicans in the Senate:

"The Republican Budget passed by the Senate late last night is a bald-faced rebuke of American values and an open attack on the middle class families who already face odds stacked against them. Instead of investing in jobs, education, and a revitalized economy, this budget would balloon the deficit and hurt working families, children, seniors, and our environment. Worse still, they do this for the sole purpose of jamming though a partisan tax plan that will put millions in the pockets of the extremely wealthy and well-connected with just 50 Republican votes in the Senate. This is not a budget for the American people; it is a trillion-dollar gift to corporations and the mega-wealthy at the expense of the rest. I will keep fighting against this effort as a member of the House Budget Committee."
