WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after voting against the Republican budget proposal:

“The Republican budget robs our seniors in order to give massive tax cuts to big corporations and the super-rich. Their voucher program would gut Medicare and cause health costs to skyrocket for seniors who can least afford it. Democrats offer hard-working Americans a BETTER DEAL, one that protects seniors while investing in infrastructure, research, and education. Our proposal would assist Americans with the rising costs of family care, education and retirement, while closing tax loopholes exploited by billionaires, special interests and big corporations.”
