Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement today after the House passed the Republican’s budget for FY2018, which includes cuts to investments in education, seniors, veterans, hardworking families and our rural communities, all while raising the deficit by over $1.3 trillion. Also included in the budget are instructions to fast-track the republicans’ plan to pass their partisan tax legislation that will actually raise taxes on many middle class Iowans.
