9 Days to Shutdown, 2 More Failed Funding Bills, Another Week in House Republican Chaos

Press Release

"Considering these two partisan funding bills was a waste of time that we should have spent debating serious proposals to keep the government open. House Republicans' transportation funding bill would have cut Amtrak by 64 percent and raised commuting and housing costs for hardworking American families. Their financial services bill would have inflicted serious damage on their communities while making sure billionaires and big corporations pay no taxes. It would have decimated the IRS, protecting tax cheats over honest, hard-working families. I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to stop driving us straight to a shutdown. Their partisan bills cannot pass. It is time for us to start negotiating full year bills as House and Senate Democrats and Republicans have done in the past."
