Boyle Statement on President Trump’s 2027 “Budget” Proposal

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement on President Trump’s 2027 funding proposal:

“Donald Trump is telling the American people our country somehow can’t afford child care, Medicaid, and Medicare, but is never too stretched to fund wars of choice. He is wrong. We are the wealthiest country in the world and can absolutely afford to both defend and invest in the American people.

The President is now demanding a massive increase in defense spending, including a $350 billion slush fund for his reckless war with Iran, while cutting billions from health care, education, housing, and more. This budget represents ‘America Last’.

I will be demanding answers from White House OMB Director Russell Vought when he testifies at the House Budget Committee on April 15.”
