Donald Trump proudly admitted he doesn’t ‘think about Americans’ financial situation,’ and this budget reconciliation bill proves Republicans in Congress don’t either.

This bill is a slap in the face to struggling Americans everywhere. It includes no relief for working families facing higher costs, just more money for unchecked enforcement and political favors for Trump.

I rise in opposition to this Graham amendment and remind us colleagues that just over a month ago a similar proposal was defeated on a bipartisan basis.

It’s déjà vu all over again. Not only did this Senate, on a bipartisan basis, reject a similar measure legislatively just a few weeks ago, but just a few hours ago, this Senate rejected a similar amendment on a bipartisan basis.

The end result of the proposals before us continue to be personal gain for the president and those around him, plain and simple.
