Boyle Statement on Passage of Republicans’ Betrayal of the Middle Class

February 25, 2025

WASHINGTON, DCCongressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after Republicans voted to pass their extreme budget resolution:

“Today, Republicans are cheering the passage of their extreme budget resolution that betrays the middle class. Their bill will impose pain and suffering on tens of millions of hardworking Americans — cutting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, all to fund extravagant giveaways for billionaires like Elon Musk.

As we move forward, the American people will have a front-row seat to the choices being made. They will see who is truly fighting for their interests and who is willing to sell them out for the sake of the ultra-wealthy.

Let me be clear: Democrats are unwavering in our commitment to protect vital health care programs and to prioritize the needs of working families over corporate profits. The American people are watching — and they will remember who stands up for them in this critical moment."
