Zinke’s New Budget: Nationwide Abortion Ban, Tax Cuts for the Wealthy, and Efforts To Cut Social Security and Medicare (AGAIN)

Today, Ryan Zinke’s Republican Study Committee held a press conference to introduce its extreme budget that would balloon the deficit and reward the ultra-wealthy while raising costs for working-class Montanans.

Top among Zinke’s disastrous policies is a massive handout to billionaires and big corporations. His budget extends tax handouts that benefit the ultra-rich over small businesses and the middle-class, and have ballooned the deficit. This is no surprise considering Zinke has repeatedly sold out to big corporations.

Additionally, Zinke’s budget would continue relentless attacks on individual freedoms and privacy by supporting a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions that would also threaten IVF access. The proposal would also cut Social Security, privatize Medicare, and leave millions of Americans without quality health care coverage.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Zinke is a DC politician with a pattern of turning his back on hard working Montana families to instead deliver for billionaires and big corporations.”
