LETTER: Biden Budget Doubles Down on Democrats’ Economic Sabotage, Worsens Americans’ Health Care, and Bungles the Major Crises American Families Face

April 28, 2022 — Blog    — Hearing    — Press Releases    — Select Revenue Measures    — Work and Welfare   

Republican Leader of the Ways and Means Committee Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) today sent a letter to Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) outlining Republicans’ concerns with the Biden Administration’s budget, which doubles down on inflationary spending and Washington mandates, and bungles the major economic crises American families are facing. 

 

In the letter, Rep. Brady wrote:

 

“…the Administration’s budget doubles down on the same inflation-fueling, partisan socialist agenda in the Democrats’ “Crush American Families Plan.” Democrats’ plan will undermine, not help, American families with policies that drive up the underlying cost of health care, disincentivize work with higher government subsidies to those on unemployment, and put Washington, not parents, in control of child care and children’s education.”

 

“The Biden Administration continues to bungle the major crises American families are facing today. Democrats have continually failed to lead with:

  • No plan to address the humanitarian chaos at the border
  • Inaction that has led to more fentanyl in our communities, making it the number one killer for Americans aged 18-45 – why is the Administration more focused on limiting Alzheimer’s treatments than stopping illegal fentanyl?
  • A botched rollout and continued litigation surrounding the landmark, bipartisan law to protect patients from surprise medical bills, including a provision to give patients unprecedented and revolutionary access to health care prices. medical bills, including a provision to give patients unprecedented and revolutionary access to health care prices.”
