AMERICAN FAMILIES WILL PAY FOR REPUBLICAN TAX CUT

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025)] [House] [Page H884] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] AMERICAN FAMILIES WILL PAY FOR REPUBLICAN TAX CUT (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because, just 2 days ago, my Republican colleagues jammed through a budget plan that puts the 0.1 percent above hardworking Americans. The Republican budget would give $4.5 trillion to CEOs and big corporations. Who pays for the tax cuts? American families just trying to make ends meet. The Republican budget cuts at least $880 billion from Medicaid. It doesn't matter whether someone is a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent, or a nonvoter. Americans across the country will either lose healthcare or see their premiums increase. All the Federal workers that Elon Musk and DOGE decided to fire for no justifiable reason will also lose their healthcare. Republicans represent millions and millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid and CHIP, and none of them, not a single one, voted with these constituents in mind. ____________________
