Where are our values? The Majority gifted a $1.5 trillion tax cut to wealthiest Americans. Now, we cannot afford to help our children reach their potential? It is wrong.
After working much of last year into the spring of this year to secure a bipartisan spending agreement, which provided $18 billion in additional non-defense funds for Fiscal Year 2019, House Republicans have prioritized unnecessary funds for President Trump’s border wall and cruel immigration policies while providing absolutely no increase to this vital bill to adequately address the education of our children, the burden of college debt, the health of Americans, and the training of our workforce.
“The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to give all the people under its jurisdiction the best possible life.” That is how I view the mission of this department. Unfortunately, I think this budget request fails miserably in fulfilling that mission.
“As the top Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee and its Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Education, we are concerned that President Trump’s announcement today is a weak half-measure and insufficient to meet the scale of the opioid emergency. We have a moral duty to address this crisis and save as many lives as possible.”
