CBO Analysis Confirms GOP Budget Bill Supported by Ann Wagner Would Rob Working Missourians to Fund Tax Breaks for Billionaires

New analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) finds that the House Republican budget bill – supported by Ann Wagner – will force middle class Missourians to foot the bill for huge tax breaks to billionaires.

The CBO report on the bill finds that the poorest 10% of Americans will see their household resources reduced, while the richest will see their resources increase.

This new analysis comes as Wagner has been lying to Missourians about her and House Republicans’ true agenda of slashing Medicaid, risking health care coverage for 445,000 Missourians, and gutting the SNAP programs that 246,107 Missouri households depend on – all so they can pay for tax breaks for the richest Americans.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s new report proves that Ann Wagner has been lying for months about her budget’s true agenda: forcing Missourians to foot the bill for tax breaks for billionaires. Wagner is waiting in the wings to vote YES on this bill that sells out Missouri families, and voters will fire her for it next November.”
