LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI IN RESPONSE TO PASSAGE OF H.R.1 The following, in its entirety, is a first-person statement by Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri WASHINGTON, DC – "The Republican tax scam passed today in the U.S. House betrays working families, explodes the debt, and punishes students, seniors, and homeowners. It will raise taxes on 36 million middle-class families. It will bury student loan holders even deeper in debt by eliminating the deduction for student loan interest. It penalizes hard work by eliminating the deduction for state and local taxes. And our seniors, who depend on Medicare, will suffer a $25 billion cut from that vital program over the next ten years. House Republicans not only raised taxes on millions of Americans today, they voted to add $1.5 trillion to the national debt, which our children and grandchildren will have to pay for. Under the GOP tax scam, the haves will have more…and everyone else will be asked to pay for it." -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
