Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) on Sunday known as a price range decision that was just lately adopted by Home Republicans a “screw America bill.”
“It’s the screw America bill, and let me tell you why,” Horsford mentioned on “The Hill Sunday” with NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.
“Let me tell you why,” the Nevada Democrat added. “They are cutting $2 trillion on the backs of everyday Americans, seniors, those who are disabled, women, pregnant women, newborn children, to do what? To give tax breaks to the very wealthy, to big corporations, to tech tycoons. And they’re very clear and deliberate about how they’re going about it.”
The Home price range decision was authorised through a 217-215 vote on Tuesday evening. Senate Republicans expressed their disagreements with the Home measure, saying it wouldn’t outcome within the Trump tax cuts from eight years in the past being everlasting. Additionally they have been anxious about cuts to Medicaid wanted to finance it.
“We got it done, we had the requisite number of votes to move this process along, and now passing the budget resolution in the House, it will go to the Senate,” Home Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) mentioned to reporters within the wake of the vote. “This is the first important step in opening up the reconciliation process.”
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) slammed the price range decision in a video posted to the social platform X on Tuesday.
“You’re talking about $880 billion of cuts to Medicaid. And I get it, like $880 billion, like, what does that mean, right? That’s a huge number. Nobody understands. Let me tell you what that means. That means that sick kids die in this country. That means that hospitals in depressed communities, in rural communities, close their doors,” Murphy mentioned within the video.
