Today, Congressman Jason Crow released the following statement in response to President Trump's 2020 Budget request:
"There's a saying, "show me your budget, and I'll show you your values." The President's budget shows a complete disregard for working Americans and Colorado families. I cannot in good conscience support a budget that cuts Medicare and Medicaid, burdens those carrying student debt, and hurts SNAP recipients - all while funding an ineffective and wasteful border wall. This budget would gut the middle class, balloon our deficit, and fails to reflect our American values."
