Booker Statement on the Signing of the Rescissions Package

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) issued the following statement:
“Trump and Senate Republicans have betrayed the American peopleby ramming through another damaging bill that harms our national security, undermines our ability to keep Americans safe, slashes vital programs to support working people– all so they can fund their tax cuts for the wealthiest few. These are reckless cuts.
“Republicans and Democrats had come together to allocate these tax dollars for programs that are in the country’s best interest, and it’s a disgrace that Republicans have once again ceded their responsibilities in order to rubber stamp Donald Trump’s unpopular agenda. There are plenty of ways to cut down on wasteful spending, but what this Administration is doing is fiscal malpractice, not fiscal responsibility.”
