“If you have a job in construction at America's ports or in transportation, this Republican budget could cost you your job and new opportunities. If you believe America should remain the world leader in medical and scientific research, sorry, the Republican budget slashes research at the National Institutes of Health or in universities and research institutions. If you are an older American, the Republican budget asks you to pay much more for Medicare, long-term care, and nursing care. It takes away that secure lifeline that has been in place since Democratic Congresses passed Medicare and Medicaid so that you will be able to live your retirement years in dignity without the fear of poverty. This Republican budget is a cynical, special-interest driven vision of America. I recommend a strong ``no'' vote in opposition.”
