Republican Budget

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GALLEGO. Mr. Speaker, today, Americans are working more and
earning less. The cost of college is rising, young people are in debt,
and America's infrastructure is in decay.

Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget, however, does nothing to help
struggling Americans. It gives tax breaks to the wealthy, ends the
Medicare guarantee, makes it harder for Americans to buy a home, and
cuts funding for education.

Our military leaders even testified that the Republican budget will
put the lives of our men and women in uniform at risk.

Mr. Speaker, this is outrageous. The American people elected us. We
owe it to them to pass a budget that addresses their needs, keeps them
safe, and gives them the best opportunity possible to live the American
Dream.

Let's focus on creating good-paying jobs, providing universal pre-K,
and restoring food stamp programs that have helped many American
families through these tough times. Let's ensure that our military has
the resources they need to make sure that they can fight the fight that
America wants.

Democrats will keep standing with the American people and do the job
that we were elected to do on their behalf.
