Americans deserve better from their leaders in Congress, especially
when it comes to deciding how the American people's hard-earned tax
dollars will be spent. Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility,
but what I see here today is another reckless and bloated budget
proposal that empties the Treasury vaults for wasteful military
spending when we have so many critical priorities here at home that are
in desperate need of funding. Now, apparently, House Republicans have no problem with spending $1.6
billion on President Trump's border wall with Mexico, but when it comes
to investing in our own communities here at home, they can't be
bothered. How about investing in our kids' schools? Why aren't we doing more to
ensure that our young people have the resources and the support they
need to get additional education?
