In response to the latest Congressional Budget Office <\/em>report<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump wants to give his billionaire donors a kickback with a massive tax cut for the 1 percent and expects working families to foot the more than $2.4 trillion bill. There\u2019s nothing \u2018America first\u2019 about kicking 16 million Americans off their health insurance, gutting critical food assistance, and hurting the economy. Trump\u2019s billionaire-first agenda is a slap in the face to working families, who will remember this moment when they cast their ballot in the midterms.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW REPORT: The Congressional Budget Office\u2019s new report warns that Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cbillionaire first\u201d agenda will explode the deficit by trillions while ripping health care away from 16 million Americans. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cThe \u2018One Big Beautiful Bill Act\u2019… will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit<\/strong> over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burgess Everett, Semafor<\/a>: \u201cCBO finds that the [GOP] reconciliation bill (10.9 million) combined with the expiration of premium tax credits and new marketplace rule (5.1 million) would result in 16 million people fewer being insured\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Trump\u2019s command, House Republicans passed their disastrous budget to make Trump\u2019s tax scam permanent and fund another round of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy on the backs of working families. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cLow-income families would lose, wealthier ones would gain under GOP tax proposals\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLow-income families stand to lose hundreds if not thousands of dollars in income while wealthy ones will gain even more<\/strong>, according to a new analysis of Congressional Republican tax and budget proposals. \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe report estimated that families with a modified adjusted gross income of less than $10,000 would lose over $2,700<\/strong> (or nearly a 15% reduction in income). Families who make between $10,000 and $20,000 would lose over $800<\/strong>, or about 4.4% reduction in income, while families who make between $20,000 and $30,000 would lose $400<\/strong>, or about 1.5% reduction in income. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn comparison, families with higher incomes would benefit<\/strong> from the extension of the 2017 tax cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans released a new budget blueprint Wednesday that would pave the way for \u2026 making President Donald Trump\u2019s 2017 tax cuts permanent.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s tax scam will devastate working families  \u2014 ripping away health care from millions and making the largest cuts to food assistance in modern history. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe House Energy and Commerce Committee, in a 30-to-24 party-line vote, advanced<\/strong> the health care section of the GOP\u2019s sweeping tax bill that would slash Medicaid spending by hundreds of billions<\/strong> of dollars.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe House Agriculture Committee voted 29-25 along party lines to <\/strong>advance legislation that would cut as much as $300 billion in food aid spending to pay for Republicans\u2019 domestic policy megabill.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Virginia Watch<\/a>: \u201cMedicaid cuts could hurt older adults who rely on home care, nursing homes\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProPublica<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump Administration Cracked Down on Medicaid. Kids Lost Insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgetown University Center for Children and Families<\/a>: \u201cCuts to Medicaid<\/strong> Will Shift Costs to Families, Providers and Will Be Especially Harmful to Rural Communities\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe GOP proposal would create the largest overhaul in decades to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps more than 42 million people in the U.S. pay for food,<\/strong> by forcing states to share the cost of SNAP benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center on Budget and Policy Priorities<\/a>: \u201cMillions of Low-Income Households Would Lose Food Aid<\/strong> Under Proposed House Republican SNAP Cuts\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegardless of how Republican lawmakers enact a cut of this magnitude, this would slash more than 20 percent from a program that helps more than 40 million people, including 1 in 5 children, afford groceries.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cAnti-hunger advocates slam House Republicans\u2019 proposed budget cut to SNAP as \u2018unconscionable\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
