Rep. Juan Vargas Votes Against Disastrous Republican Budget Resolution, Major Cuts to Medicaid and Food Assistance

April 10, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Juan Vargas (D-CA) released the following statement after House Republicans voted to pass a budget resolution that paves the way for tax breaks for billionaires and devastating cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. “Today, Republicans took another step towards making their appalling budget plan a reality. Their budget would deliver a staggering $7 trillion in giveaways to billionaires and big corporations while making the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in history. And estimates show it will add trillions to our deficit. I voted no. I oppose taking food and health care from working families to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Simple as that. I’ll keep fighting back on this disaster of a budget.” ###
