Sen. Murray Statement on President Trump’s Proposed Budget: Direct Attack on Workers, Families, Women, Seniors, and the Middle Class
(Washington, D.C.) – Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) released the following statement on President Trump’s budget proposal released this morning.
“This budget is a direct attack on workers, families, women, seniors, and the middle class—and it represents just the latest of the many broken promises from President Trump.
“By slashing investments in jobs and middle class priorities while saying he will cut taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and massive corporations—President Trump is making it clear who he stands with and who he fights for. But families in Washington state and across the country want a budget that invests in them, their communities, and their futures—and Democrats are going to be fighting by their side and against this Trump budget, along with any Republican willing to put people above politics and join us.
“Speaker Ryan and I worked together in 2013 on a bipartisan budget deal that increased investments in health care, education, jobs, and defense investments and set the framework for continued bipartisan work to write budgets and avoid government shutdowns. We made it clear that the path forward on bipartisan budgets includes the principle of parity—restoring investments equally across defense and domestic priorities. Today, President Trump ran away from that bipartisan deal and put us back on the path of budget gridlock, partisanship, and crises. Democrats are ready to get to work on a fair budget that invests in our workers and families and doesn’t include poison pill riders—but this partisan Trump budget is an absolute non-starter.”
For certain she didn't come up with that on her own...
I watched her sitting in Congress and texting away, all in her own little private world...
She is as dumb as a box of rocks...she needs VOTED OUT AND WE NEED TERM LIMITS...
YESTERDAY, JOHN McCAIN’S WAR PATH HE TOOK PROVED THAT TO ALL AMERICANS...THE DUDE IS SICK AND ROLLING OVER TO AGE 81...THAT IS LONG ENOUGH TO BE MAKING STUPID REMARKS AND DECISIONS... TERM LIMITS...NOW NOT LATER...
Her chief of staff. He's one of the best in the game.
There is a saying in the Senate: "The weakest senators have the strongest staffs." For a long time, the best staffs in the Senate belonged to Murray, Boxer, Mikulski and Ted Kennedy.
The fight is not about rich versus poor. It’s those who work for a living and take care of their own families versus those who seek to make that impossible.
TELL me about it!! WE have lived here, on the Washington side of the Columbia, (Washougal) across from PDX and feel in most elections, we live in any socialist country you could name. I still think the California retreds are a big part of the problem. Tacoma and Seattle rule the elections.

And Bill Clinton’s favorite: “...our most vulnerable citizens.” :)
