Clyburn today issued the following statement on President Trump\u2019s budget request for fiscal year 2018:\n\u201cBudgets are about much more than dollars and cents. They are value statements, American values.\u00a0 Today Donald Trump has once again shown us where his are.\u00a0 He talks about improving our infrastructure, but his budget slashes billions of dollars from federal infrastructure funding.\u00a0 For middle income Americans and those struggling in poverty, his budget proposes to slash billions from safety net programs they depend on; nursing home care, affordable health care, food and heating assistance and legal aid.\u00a0 This budget is an attack on seniors, students, low-income families, and rural communities.\n\u201cFor South Carolina, the Trump Budget would be a disaster if enacted.\u00a0 Eliminating most of the Department of Agriculture\u2019s Rural Development programs cuts off the lifeline rural counties depend on.\u00a0 This office funds schools, water systems, and supports rural housing and businesses.\u00a0Eliminating the Community Development Block Grant program cuts the main source of federal funding for municipalities to provide critical infrastructure and housing support.\u00a0 The budget also proposes to eliminate funding for the National Heritage Areas through the National Park Service, which would decimate the two in our state, the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor and the Gullah-Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor.\u201d", 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": ["http://clyburn.house.gov/press-release/clyburn-statement-trump-budget-proposal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.786531949415803, "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"}
