Baldwin Votes Against Republicans’ Budget that Prioritizes Billionaires Over Working Families
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement on the Republicans’ Budget Resolution voted on in the Senate early this morning:
Senator Baldwin sought votes on amendments to block any cuts to Medicaid that would rip away health care from Americans and also close a tax loophole that allows Wall Street investment managers to often pay almost half the tax rate compared to most other Wisconsin workers:
- Preventing seniors from having their health care ripped away, including those in nursing homes;
- Preventing children from having their health care ripped away, including those on the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP);
- Preventing health care for those battling addiction and substance use disorder from being ripped away;
- Preventing cuts to funding for rural Americans, including essential funding for hospitals;
- Preventing pregnant women from having their health care ripped away; and
- Closing the carried interest loophole that benefits wealthy money managers on Wall Street, something that President Trump also supports.
