Statement from U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Gibbons on
Democrats $3.5 Trillion Budget Proposal
August 9, 2021
Cleveland, OH - U.S. Senate candidate Mike Gibbons has released the following statement on the Democrats $3.5 trillion budget proposal:
“The Democrats' budget proposal is irresponsible. It is chock full of unnecessary spending and unattainable policy goals such as a ‘Civilian Climate Corps’ and free Community College. Unfortunately, this is just the type legislation we have come to expect from Washington, D.C. politicians who continue to spend our money, our kids money, and our grandkids money - driving us into further debt. Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are desperate to ram through this reckless spending bill because they know voters across the country will reject their radical agenda in the midterms next fall.”
Background:
- Democrats’ proposal includes “universal pre-K, free 2-year community college, and paid family leave.”
- The energy related changes in the legislation
include creating a “Civilian Climate Corps,” a new “Clean Electric Payment Program,” and imposing new polluter fees, among other Democrat priorities.
