New Democrat Coalition Leadership Condemns House Republican Passage of Disastrous Tax Scam Bill
Today, New Democrat Coalition Leadership issued a statement following the passage of the Republican reconciliation bill on the House floor.
“House Republicans just passed their irresponsible, dangerous, and morally bankrupt tax scam bill. In doing so, they have found a new low—never before in recent history has a group of lawmakers so deliberately and knowingly worked to inflict so much extreme devastation and financial burden on working people in America.
“For weeks, New Dems and House Democrats have raised the alarm on the cruelty of this bill. We’ve explained how sweeping cuts to federal programs would take healthcare away from 14 million people, take food assistance away from tens of millions of families with children, and raise costs across the board for the poorest 10% of households in the country. House Republicans willfully ignored these facts and callously forced through their cuts to finance trillions of dollars in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. They are lining the pockets of their billionaire backers and burdening our children and grandchildren with another $5,000,000,000,000 of federal debt.
“These numbers speak for themselves, yet fail to capture the gut-wrenching human toll of this bill. Millions will lose health care, and many will die. If House Republicans get their way, children will go hungry, families will lose their homes, hardworking Americans will be less healthy, less safe, and poorer for generations.
“This is not ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ but rather one terrible deal for America’s families. Despite its House passage tonight, the Republican agenda is not inevitable. The Senate must reject this proposal outright, and New Dems will continue to do everything in our power to prevent this bill’s twisted vision of a poorer future from becoming reality.”
