Today, Americans are working more and earning less. The cost of college is rising, young people are in debt, and America's infrastructure is in decay. Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget, however, does nothing to help struggling Americans. It gives tax breaks to the wealthy, ends the Medicare guarantee, makes it harder for Americans to buy a home, and cuts funding for education. Our military leaders even testified that the Republican budget will put the lives of our men and women in uniform at risk. Mr. Speaker, this is outrageous. The American people elected us. We owe it to them to pass a budget that addresses their needs, keeps them safe, and gives them the best opportunity possible to live the American Dream. Let's focus on creating good-paying jobs, providing universal pre-K, and restoring food stamp programs that have helped many American families through these tough times. Let's ensure that our military has the resources they need to make sure that they can fight the fight that America wants. Democrats will keep standing with the American people and do the job that we were elected to do on their behalf. ____________________

They want to hear that there is a message that Democrats can deliver that can bring the party back to a winning situation — bring back working-class people, because that’s where we’re really getting f---ed and losing votes.
