Breaks for Billionaires, Higher Costs for Everyone Else

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, in a stunning betrayal of American families, congressional Republicans voted one of the largest transfers of wealth from the poorest Americans to the wealthiest into law. The legislation now heads to the White House for President Donald Trump’s inevitable signature. In response, Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy Executive Director Sondra Goldschein released the following statement:

“To the members who supported this bill: get ready to own this greedy and cruel highway robbery of working families for the rest of your political career. You don’t get to hijack health care and food from millions of people and ever forget it.”

The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy is fighting for a future where all people can afford to care for themselves and their loved ones. We do this by building political power to pass policies that lower costs for families, like paid family and medical leave, quality, affordable child care and elder care.
