Lujan Grisham Votes Against Republican Budget
Oct 26, 2017
Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham voted against the Republican budget passed by the House today.
“This is an extreme budget plan that would devastate New Mexico’s economy. It decimates education programs like Pell Grants; slashes food nutrition programs; cuts investments in our infrastructure; and kicks off millions from health care by undermining the ACA, cutting Medicare by $473 billion from Medicare and $1 trillion from Medicaid.
“Even worse, it paves the way for tax cuts that will add up to $1.5 trillion to the national debt to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires. The Republican tax plan will actually raise taxes on about 104,000 middle class New Mexicans. In short, it prioritizes the rich and powerful at the expense of everybody else.
“We need a truly bi-partisan tax reform process to lower rates for the middle class, simplify the tax code, and ensure the wealthiest pay their fair share.”
