Congressman Crow Statement on Final Passage of Trump’s Budget Bill

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) issued the following statement after House Republicans passed President Trump’s budget bill. The bill now heads to the President’s desk:

In a statement, Congressman Crow said:

“In all my time in Congress, President Trump’s budget bill is the worst I’ve ever seen. It shamefully is one of the largest transfers of wealth from the working class to the rich in history. 

“With his signature, President Trump will kick millions of Americans off of their health care and take away food assistance from the working class. Republicans are taking from working people in order to give massive tax breaks to the rich. Their bill is also fiscally reckless and irresponsible, adding trillions to the national debt.

“Republicans pretend they’re for the working class, but with one bill, Donald Trump and Republicans just made life more difficult for many hardworking Americans who were already struggling to get by—all to give their billionaire friends a tax cut. 

“It’s an awful bill that will hurt Colorado and our country. I voted NO.”
