Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s First District today spoke on the House Floor in opposition to the GOP’s proposed budget for FY2016. Below are her remarks:

“You know, I never thought I'd be quoting Ronald Reagan, but ‘There you go again.’

“Another Republican budget that kicks the poor, the hungry, and the disabled to the curb; strangles the middle class, and deserts hard working families.

“’There you go again.’ Another Republican budget that stymies research and development, abandons essential infrastructure, and stifles access to education.

“’There you go again.’ Another Republican budget that robs senior citizens, degrades the environment, and devastates our cultural institutions.

“’There you go again.’ Another so-called Republican ‘path to prosperity’ that’s really a road map to distress and decline for all but big corporations and the mega wealthy.

“So I urge folks to call those Republican representatives and tell them that the American people don’t want to and don’t deserve to go that way again.

“I yield back.”
