SCHAUMBURG, IL – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement in response to Senate Republicans passing their budget reconciliation bill:

“Senate Republicans just rammed through a budget bill that guts our social safety net and slashes over $1 trillion from Medicaid—all to bankroll massive tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Millions will lose health care, families will go hungry, and the ultra-wealthy will cash in. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s moral failure. I’ll fight this cruel betrayal of working Americans every step of the way.”
