Expectations are that the Administration will “suddenly” rediscover its aversion to the ballooning deficit it ignored while pushing for the GOP tax scam, and pursue cuts that would seriously harm hardworking families, real investments in economic growth, and programs that provide Americans with a basic standard of living.

"We are holding a total of five oversight hearings on CBO. This is a tremendous amount of time that we are dedicating to one agency. Mr. Chairman, I hope that we will be just as diligent in our other responsibilities and find time to hear from other agencies as well."

"It is all too easy these days to take refuge in information that tells us only what we want to hear, but that does not lead to sound policy. CBO does not exist to give us the information that we want to hear. Its job is to give us the information needed to make informed, responsible decisions."

“It is distressing and embarrassing that President Trump and Congressional Republicans have spent a full year in total control of the federal government but have demonstrated a total inability to govern."

“Congratulations to Congressman Womack on being elected Chairman of the House Budget Committee. I look forward to serving with him in the upcoming year, and hope our committee produces a budget this year that embraces the priorities of the American people.”

“The resulting massive debt hike by these self-proclaimed deficit hawks is no accident. In their irresponsible assault on America’s budget, Republicans have created their long-sought excuse to gut Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, education assistance, and other vital programs that millions of Americans depend on."

"This isn’t tax reform. This isn’t help for the middle class. It’s a scam. It’s fraud. And it will have dangerous, long-lasting consequences for the American people."

“Today, Republicans sold their souls and principles to give tax breaks to wealthy corporations and their millionaire donors.”
