MADISON, Wis. – This afternoon, the House of Representatives is set to vote on a rule and budget resolution which not only could force steep cuts to programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and more, it also eliminates the power of Congress to end President Trump’s harmful tariffs.
Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement calling on Republicans to reject this proposal:
“Today, Wisconsinites are already paying the price as extreme cuts are eroding access to services our families and communities depend on. Now, Congress is set to inflict even more damage by advancing a budget resolution that will force disastrous cuts to programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and more – just so they can fund massive tax breaks for the ultra-rich and big corporations. The proposed resolution also goes even further and gives up Congress’ own power to override President Trump’s harmful tariffs that are wreaking havoc on our economy and forcing working families to pay more for everyday items. If Congressmen Steil and Van Orden want to help Wisconsin families succeed, voting no on this resolution is the right thing to do.”
