Richmond Statement on the PATH Act | 2015-12-17 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC Today, Rep. Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after the House passed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act: America expects more from their government than the short-sighted, irresponsible tax plan that passed the House today, said Rep. Richmond. The $622 billion in unpaid for tax cuts will cause a substantial budget short fall, and working class Americans will bear the brunt of the consequences. Critical programs like Medicare, HeadStart, SNAP as well as funding for job training, public housing, and Pell Grants will be on the chopping block in order to cut the budget so that we can pay for the tax breaks passed today. This Bobby Jindal-styled governance in which we offer tax breaks to corporations then slash the budget is why Louisiana is in the midst of a fiscal catastrophe, and Congress is putting America on that same path. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
