House budget resolution is 'screw America bill,' House Democrat says
Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) on Sunday called a budget resolution that was recently adopted by House Republicans a “screw America bill.”
“It's the screw America bill, and let me tell you why,” Horsford said on “The Hill Sunday” with NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.
“Let me tell you why,” the Nevada Democrat added. “They are cutting $2 trillion on the backs of everyday Americans, seniors, those who are disabled, women, pregnant women, newborn children, to do what? To give tax breaks to the very wealthy, to big corporations, to tech tycoons. And they're very clear and deliberate about how they're going about it.”
The House budget resolution was approved via a 217-215 vote on Tuesday night. Senate Republicans expressed their disagreements with the House measure, saying it wouldn’t result in the Trump tax cuts from eight years ago being permanent. They also have been worried about cuts to Medicaid needed to finance it.
“We got it done, we had the requisite number of votes to move this process along, and now passing the budget resolution in the House, it will go to the Senate,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said to reporters in the wake of the vote. “This is the first important step in opening up the reconciliation process.”
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) slammed the budget resolution in a video posted to the social platform X on Tuesday.
“You’re talking about $880 billion of cuts to Medicaid. And I get it, like $880 billion, like, what does that mean, right? That’s a huge number. Nobody understands. Let me tell you what that means. That means that sick kids die in this country. That means that hospitals in depressed communities, in rural communities, close their doors,” Murphy said in the video.
