Groundwork’s Jacquez on House Budget Resolution: GOP is ransacking working families to fund billionaire tax breaks

Today, House Republicans unveiled their plan to deliver $4.5 trillion worth of massive tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy and corporations, which they plan to fund by cutting $2 trillion from health care, SNAP, and other critical programs that families rely on. Groundwork Collaborative Chief of Policy and Advocacy Alex Jacquezcondemned the plan in the following statement:

“Instead of tackling rising prices and delivering relief for American families, House Republicans are charging ahead with trillions of dollars in deeply unpopular tax breaks for billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And, they’re paying for their billionaire handouts by ransacking health care, food assistance, and other vital programs that American workers and families rely on.”
