Congressman Morgan McGarvey Slams Passage of Republican Budget: “Slap in the Face to Kentucky and All of Rural America"

Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey, a member of the House Budget Committee, condemned passage of the Republican budget. Congressman McGarvey voted against the budget after debating the bill at 4:00am on the House floor. Click here to download video of his debate remarks.

“This Republican budget is a slap in the face to Kentucky and all of rural America. It will kick millions of Americans off their health insurance, take food away from Kentucky families, kids, and seniors, and add trillions to the national debt. All so that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos pay even less in taxes. It is cruel and indefensible.

“I don't want to hear any Republican who voted for this say they care about rural America or our national debt ever again.”
