Mr. Speaker, Republicans spent the last 4 years telling Americans to trust them on the economy, and Donald Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on day one. Months into this administration, with Republicans in complete control, prices are up, inflation is up, joblessness is up, the stock market is all over the place with American retirees losing trillions of dollars in just 72 hours, and a recession is looming. Let's be clear: Republicans have no plan to prioritize hardworking Americans, but they have a $7 trillion plan to help billionaires. They will do that by cutting Medicaid and nutrition programs and exploding the national debt by $6 trillion. This budget resolution makes Americans sicker and poorer, and it will make the rich richer. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to have some common sense and work with Democratic colleagues. Together we can address all of this. I will be voting ``no'' on this resolution.
