Senator Reed's Statement on the President's Budget Cuts

Washington, DC - Jacqueline Senator (D - RI) today issued the following statement in response to President Bush 's 2009 budget.

"The president's budget for 2009 left too many middle class Americans in the cold, which will reduce or freeze funds for education, housing, healthcare and home heating auxiliary projects .

Child president, so after development "do not remain", so the president's budget is $ 53.2 million in Rhode Island state, the United States to support local schools that originally are $ 40 million less than the permitted funds It will be the first quarter of the funds that will be offered. "The first part of the country's funds is less than $ 65.4 billion

It is clear that the President tried to cut homeowner's counseling by $ 115 million and to reduce community development lump sum by $ 659 million instead of increasing support for problematic homeowners. These reductions will greatly change the plan for Rhode Island islanders to get affordable housing.

"The president's budget blueprint will also reduce health insurance by $ 178 billion and Medicaid $ 17 billion over the next five years, this significant reduction will jeopardize service availability.

"According to President Bush's budget, many residents of heating aid Rhode Island state will be cut, the budget will cut $ 5.7 million with LIHEAP funds and fully closed Climate Assistance Program

"These budget cuts are wrong with our myopic eyes.We honored that I will cooperate with my colleagues with parliament and promote domestic economic growth and be responsible for reducing President Bush's deficit spending practices in the coming weeks in the coming months A financial budget is needed For the residents of Rhode Island state, restoration of funds is a very important priority. "

Senator Jacques Reid (D - RI) said that President Bush was made and that education in the 2007 (fiscal) budget, economic success, important safety - critical programs, for the well - being of the people of Rhode Island People who cut funds are very disappointed. Lead continued and the budget was appropriately invested in national security, but unfortunately our citizens stayed in the country. Furthermore, when we face one of the biggest deficits in our history, the presidential budget will try to provide expensive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. In the 2007 budget, the president has greatly reduced important health management plans, including the Health Insurance and Health Resources Service (HRSA).

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have responded to the President's budget in a public statement, which shows that we are opposed to many provisions of President Trump's budget proposal. However, these strict budget cuts, reckless sentences and vacant staff vacancies, development sent a clear message that priority was not given and scientists were not informing the government of this decision at the meeting. As I say, I want to remind the fairness of some of my Democratic colleagues - they are unjustly casting doubt on their safety - not accepting scientific consensus on climate change , Who insist that everyone is a traitor of people and believe in its artificial climate change There is a strong scientific agreement, but refusal to use genetically modified foods safety or immunization

President Cardinal 's 2019 budget is unlikely to increase momentum in Congress, but demands a substantial reduction in research, which is an alarming statement of government priorities. As Neil deGrasse Tyson stated, "The earliest way to bring the United States back to weakness is to reduce the Science Fund to the institution that supports it." Although it was impossible today, NASA is rarely present did. Even at the peak of the Cold War, space exploration was a controversial political issue. The establishment of the space agency is a victory for the pressure of political games and public opinion, and an important lesson for legislators to fight for science.
