Thompson (D-MS) released the following statement regarding President Trump\u2019s fiscal year 2018 budget request:\n\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s budget is perhaps the most damaging proposal for rural America that we have ever seen,\u201d said Thompson. \u00a0\u201cThe Trump budget seeks to eliminate the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, the Rural Water and Waste Disposal Program and the Single Family Housing Direct Loans Program. \u00a0President Trump also reneged on his promise to not cut Medicaid. \u00a0It is clear that President Trump has turned his back on rural America.\u201d \u00a0\n\u201cUnfortunately, many of us have become numb to Donald Trump\u2019s foolish rhetoric and irrational tweets but this budget is a stark reminder of the dangers his Presidency. Perhaps the President should spend less time at his golf courses and more time meeting real Americans. \u00a0I look forward to working with my colleagues to develop a budget that works for all Americans.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases/thompson-statement-trump-s-fy-2018-budget"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7476091850548983, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
