Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement today in response to the House Republican budget. “Chairman Ryan has once again proposed an uncompromising, sharply partisan budget that would hurt seniors, undermine critical investments in the middle class, and damage our economy. It’s a plan that relies on the same tired ideas voters rejected in November: ending Medicare as we know it, slashing investments in our future, and putting millionaires before middle class families. “We need to reduce the deficit and cut government spending. But instead of offering proposals that have no chance of earning broad bipartisan support and becoming law, Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate need to come together and compromise on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit, grow the economy, and protect seniors and the middle class. That type of responsible compromise remains the best and only way to address our fiscal challenges and move our country forward.” ### Press Contact: |
