House Republicans proceeded with a budget resolution that narrowly passed through the Budget Committee after a lengthy markup session, rejecting numerous Democratic amendments aimed at preserving essential services like Medicaid and federal nutrition programs. The budget plan includes a mechanism for tax cuts potentially amounting to $4 trillion, justified by spending cuts. Democratic leaders voiced concerns over the implications for vulnerable groups, expressing their disappointment over cuts that could detrimentally affect healthcare and education funding.
Each of our amendments was a direct effort to shield the American people from the reckless cuts embedded in this proposal, cuts that will hurt the most vulnerable.
We proposed amendments to maintain funding for public education, ensuring that schools remain adequately resourced and that teachers don't bear the burden of budget shortfalls.
