Leader Schumer Statement On Donald Trump’s Budget; Plan Is A Gut Punch to American Families

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement on Donald Trump’s “skinny” budget which outlines massive cuts to vital programs, and would gut healthcare, education and other programs that American families rely on every day:

"Donald Trump’s days of pretending to be a populist are over. His policies are nothing short of an all out assault on hardworking Americans. As he guts healthcare, slashes education, and hollows out programs families rely on— he’s bankrolling tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. It’s not just fiscally irresponsible, it’s a betrayal of working people from a morally bankrupt president. Democrats are going to fight this heartless budget with everything we’ve got and if Congressional Republicans actually cared about American families, they’d join us."
