Indianapolis, IN – Democratic Whip Katherine Clark released the following statement on Trump’s budget blueprint that slashes basic government programs to fund billionaire tax cuts:

“Donald Trump has one agenda: make life harder for families while handing Elon Musk and his billionaire friends a tax break. 

“Today, he is doubling down with a budget that will make child care, home energy, and housing more expensive for the very people who are stretching to pay their bills. This budget comes on top of the skyrocketing prices and economic chaos caused by Trump’s trade war. 

“The American people did not vote for a government of, by, and for the billionaire class. Democrats won't allow this cruel budget to be jammed through Congress and will fight to protect every family’s ability to meet their basic needs.”
