Matt Thornton of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued the following statement:
“After a week of infighting, today Speaker John Boehner was finally able to limp his reckless and irresponsible Republican budget across the mid-field line. Unfortunately for hard-working Americans, this means the Republican Congress has taken us one step closer to cutting student loans and making it harder to retire or buy a home. Hard-working Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not special interests and the ultra-wealthy.”
