“I promise that this Committee will continue its vigilance and not allow the President to unilaterally substitute this budget for the bipartisan budget already in place. And I keep my promises.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“As Director, it is your responsibility, your obligation, to make sure that OMB is in complete compliance with the ICA and fully respects that the Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“I’m not going to rehash that entire process, but a major finding of Congress’ investigations was that the Administration broke federal law when OMB failed to abide by the ICA. That law falls squarely within the jurisdiction of the Budget Committee” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“Thankfully, with a budget already in place for 2020 and 2021 and the Senate Majority Leader reaffirming his commitment to the BBA 2019, I am confident that that Congress will stand firm against this President's warped vision for our nation’s future.” @RepJohnYarmuth

“While I have come to expect shocking and unthinkable budget cuts from this Administration, it never gets any easier to see our President’s complete disregard for the human cost of his budget.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“This President is asking working Americans to sacrifice their safety, their health, their economic security, their futures – to cover the cost of Republicans’ tax scam that was never going to pay for itself.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“Over the course of the decade, the President’s budget would slash non-defense discretionary funds by more than $1.5 trillion, taking a wrecking ball to America’s economic future and security.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“The bottom line here is that this President & his Congressional Republican allies have routinely prioritized special interests and the rich & powerful over American families. The President’s destructive & irrational budget continues that misplaced allegiance.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“In his #SOTU speech, President Trump talked about planting trees to protect the environment. You know how you protect the environment? By putting people before polluters and not gutting the EPA by more than 26 percent like this budget does.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“But now, the President is going back on his word. Instead, he is, once again, proposing deep cuts to critical programs that help American families & prepare our nation for the future. Once again, he is breaking his promises & lying to the American people.” -@RepJohnYarmuth

“Just six short months ago, the President signed a bipartisan two-year budget deal into law. It does everything the President’s proposal fails to do...” -@RepJohnYarmuth

It’s been LESS THAN A WEEK since Trump promised he would “not be touching” Americans' Medicare & Social Security.But that was a lie.The #TrumpBudget pushes HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS in cut to Medicare & a $24 BILLION cut to Social Security--all while extending tax cuts for the rich

You can’t gut the EPA by more than 25% without knowing it will make our air less safe and our water less clean. The #TrumpBudget not only ignores the health burden of pollution and the climate crisis, it would make them worse.
