I rise to oppose this bill, H.R. 3898, because it is an affront to environmental stewardship everywhere. It undermines the 50 years of vital, clean water progress and weakens the ability of States like New Jersey to control pollution in its own waters.

Across New Jersey and our country, Americans are struggling with skyrocketing energy costs and are demanding relief. Yet, that did not stop the congressional Republicans from repealing the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, a major mistake that could not have come at a worse time.

The massive cuts to Medicaid within this bill will unleash catastrophic impacts across America and my district. Hospitals and nursing homes could close, and healthcare prices will rise as a result of these cuts.

I came to Congress to help my constituents. I came here to provide direct relief to struggling Americans and lift people up. This Republican budget does none of those things. It is nothing more than a blueprint for cruelty. This GOP budget will destroy Medicaid and take healthcare away from millions of Americans.
