WASHINGTON, D.C. – Economic Security Project Action Director Adam Ruben issued the following statement following the Senate’s release of its FY 2025 Budget Resolution.

“Costs are high and Trump’s economy is driving them even higher. So how do Republicans respond? By hiding their usual giveaways to the wealthy behind fraudulent accounting,” said Adam Ruben, Director of Economic Security Project Action. “Republicans are lying by saying $5 trillion in new tax cuts for greedy billionaires and wealthy corporations are free, when, in reality, they come at a huge cost to working- and middle-class families. We’ve seen this movie before. They’ll pass trillions in tax cuts for the ultrarich, then cry that the deficit is too big so they can gut Medicaid, SNAP and other programs everyday people depend on. Americans deserve better. Our lawmakers should fight for a fairer tax system – one that puts money back in people’s pockets to help deal with the affordability crisis.”
