Frankel Statement on Trump’s Budget
Washington,
May 23, 2017
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the below statement following the release of President Trump’s FY 18 budget proposal:
“President Trump’s budget is a broken promise to hard-working families. Although he promised to Make America Great Again, it’s clear President Trump’s real goal is to give big handouts to corporations and the ultra-rich at the expense of folks living paycheck to paycheck. His proposal takes health care, food and education assistance away from families struggling to make ends meet by cutting such programs as Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, and student loans. I call on Congress to reject this and instead focus on protecting Social Security and Medicare, fixing crumbling roads and bridges, and preparing students and workers for jobs in an ever-changing economy.” ### |
