Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Donald Trump’s latest budget proposal, just like his disastrous first 100 days, is extremely damaging to the American people. 

Republicans promised to lower costs on day one, but this reckless budget scheme will raise prices across the board and devastate our children, families, seniors and law enforcement. It will cut education, healthcare, child care, environmental protections, medical research, housing and nutrition assistance, while causing irreversible harm to our national security.

Donald Trump’s latest budget proposal is dead on arrival in Congress and it will never see the light of day.
