Senator Jeffries said on the floor of the house:
All we heard from a Republican colleague last year was that we ran away from Project 2025 as if it didn’t exist, and at the same time we needed to do something about the high cost of living. This year, Republicans are spending all their time implementing the most extremes of Project 2025, not one thing, not one bill, not a single idea, not one proposal , not a single invoice, not a single proposal, and not a single one. My Republican colleague in my house is doing something about the high cost of living in the United States.
why?
It’s Republican bait and switch. Part 2 of Republican Feeding and Switch, their true purpose is to enact large tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy businesses, as they did in 2017 when GOP tax fraud was passed. , there they were moving. The benefit is the wealthiest 1%.
And now my family Republican has come back to it by a colleague. There they go again. Same plan. There’s nothing to push down the high cost of living. It’s all about the massive tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy businesses. Often, no one wants it. And they certainly don’t need the relief that everyday Americans need.
We need working class Americans. That middle-class American is needed. All those who aim to be part of the needs of the middle class. It’s Republican bait and switch.
What are the final elements of Republican bait and switching?
It enacts these massive tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy businesses, and pastes working-class Americans into the bill.
The nerves of this group that spent all last year lectured on how they do something to take away their living expenses and did nothing about it, House Republicans are massive in their billionaires They plan to enact a tax cut, and stick working-class Americans on the bill as the final element of Republican bait and switching.
House Republicans have no plans to love and cherish Medicaid. Let’s be very clear about that. I have no plans to love and cherish Medicaid. Their plan is, as we know, to destroy Social Security, to destroy Medicare, to destroy Medicaid. And now, Republicans control the House, Senate and the presidency, so it’s their intention to try to do that.
See what happens at the upcoming Republican budget hearing. As for what is being proposed, Medicaid reductions are devastating. Hospitals will be closed in rural America, urban America, and the American centres. Nursing facilities will be closed, with daily Americans, children and seniors closed.
People struggling with disabilities, as we know, are hurt as part of the Republican efforts to target, earn benefits like Social Security and Medicare, and destroy Medicaid. It’s Republican bait and switching. We will continue to expose it to the American people. House Democrats have nothing to do with that.
And we’re going to do everything in our power to stop it.
Democrats need to slap this message every day.
Some of the Americans were told. Republicans are not going to do anything about costs or inflation. Instead, they are going to take health care away from millions of people. Or make healthcare more expensive.
House Democrats are fighting back and will have Republicans own bait and switch.
