ED MARKEY BUDGET SPEECH

As families and businesses across the country are completing their income tax returns and evaluating their finances, Congress also is reassessing the nation’s budget priorities.
House Republicans recently passed a budget that ends the Medicare guarantee for millions of seniors while continuing to give tax breaks to billionaires and big subsidies to oil companies that already are raking in record profits. Instead of laying the groundwork for a prosperous future for the middle class and working families, Republicans passed a budget full of the failed economic policies of the past – tax breaks for the rich and subsidies for Big Oil.
