Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.
This week, Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government for six months. The Continuing Resolution we just passed does not cut Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits—despite Democrats’ false claims. In reality, it gives our troops a raise, invests in veterans’ healthcare, and supports women, infants, and seniors—all while keeping the government open. This legislation sets the stage for a new Golden Age in America. Click here or below to watch my comments on the Continuing Resolution.
Unfortunately, and perhaps predictably, House Democrats voted against a Continuing Resolution that cuts $20 billion from the IRS and redirects $10 billion from the Commerce Department’s Slush fund to invest in our veterans, military, seniors, and working families—all while keeping the government open.
10% pay raise for our troops
$6 B for veterans' healthcare
$7.6 B for WIC to support women and infants
$12 billion to bolster our Naval fleet
$425M for food delivery to seniors
