Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08), the Congressional Progressive Caucus Vice Chair and Liaison to New Members said, “A budget is, above all, an ethical document.  The Trump budget would rip gaping holes in the fabric of social life in America while driving the militarism of the Bannon wing of the Trump White House. The Progressive Caucus budget is the answer to the moral chaos of the administration.  It reflects a serious commitment to the needs and priorities of the American people.”
