“I thank Mr. Ellison for all his work with the Progressive Caucus. Madam Chairman, I have got to tell you, I couldn't disagree more with the good Governor of South Carolina on the budget. To call the Republican Tea Party-infused budget progressive is like calling Velveeta a type of Wisconsin cheese. It just doesn't compare. The Republican budget means Americans will work harder and earn less. It will be harder to buy a home, it will be harder to send your children to college, and harder to save for a secure retirement. It will do nothing to grow wages or help people get ahead. But it will do one thing for the people in the middle class. It will give you a $2,000 tax increase so that the wealthiest in this country can get a tax break. The Progressive Caucus budget is exactly the opposite. The people's budget boosts economic opportunity for more Americans and gives hard- working Americans a raise. The Progressive Caucus Budget grows our economy and will create 8.4 million jobs by investing in the very things the economy needs most, things like infrastructure and teachers. It puts money into the pockets of workers so that you can get a raise and go out shopping or go to a movie and boost our economy and create jobs via that. The Progressive budget puts our next generation on a better track by making college more affordable--even debt free--and more accessible for more people.…”
