Pelosi Statement on Republican Budget Collapse


Washington, D.C.– House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement this evening on the collapse of the Republican budget bill:

“Tonight Republicans pulled their immoral budget from the House floor because they didn’t have the votes. Without the support of a single Democrat, and their party in disarray, Republicans are on the run.

“The Republican budget was red ink as far as the eye could see, and betrayed our national security by slashing funding for crucial initiatives to keep our country safe. Those are the wrong priorities and keep our country headed in the wrong direction.

“The Democratic substitute to the Republican budget was values-based and fiscally responsible, and it addressed the concerns of the American people. Republicans simply couldn’t handle the competition.”
