WASHINGTON-On the Senate Floor, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) spoke in opposition to the Congressional Republican budget resolution, which provides tax cuts for the wealthy while raising costs on everyday Americans.

"This budget would give massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy, and pay for it by raising costs, taking away health care, threatening the economic security of tens of millions of Americans," said Klobuchar. "We could strengthen Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Instead of giving a $300,000 tax cut to someone in the top 0.1%, we could invest in child care, affordable housing, education, and affordable energy. And at the same time, we could put some aside to bring down the debt."

"That's how we support working families. That's how we make sure our seniors retire with dignity. So we are standing up all day today to expose this budget for what it really is. It is benefits for the wealthy and the big guys at the expense of everyone else."
