Joyce Beatty said "What's the message? The message is that Congressman Ryan's budget is not a path to prosperity for our country. Why? Because we lose with jobs. His 10-year budget destroys 2 million American jobs, according to the Economic Policy Institute. We lose with families and children, because families and children who have income below $200,000 would have to face a tax increase averaging more than $3,000 a year. We lose with seniors. According to the AARP, as they stated, the GOP budget will shift costs to seniors and end the Medicare guarantee. Removing the Medicare guarantee of affordable health care coverage seniors have contributed to through a lifetime of hard work definitely is not the answer. Mr. Speaker, the American path to prosperity is not for citizens to lose, as we do under the Ryan budget, but to move forward, as set forth in the Democratic alternatives. ___________________
