WASHINGTON – Kentucky Congressman John Yarmuth, Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, issues the following statement on the release of President Trump’s FY19 budget:

“The Trump budget proposal makes clear his desire to enact massive cuts to health care, anti-poverty programs, and investments in economic growth to blunt the deficit-exploding impact of his tax cuts for millionaires and corporations.  These cuts to critical federal investments are so extreme they can only reflect a disdain for working families and a total lack of vision for a stronger society.”
