Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) issued the following statement in response to Republicans’ passing their ‘Big Billionaire Bailout,’ which gives massive tax breaks to the rich off by cutting health care and food assistance for working families.
“Only heartless people could celebrate kicking people off their health care while taking food away from hungry people. It’s immoral and un-American,” said Congressman Sorensen. “President Trump promised he would bring down costs, but less than six months after taking office he has turned his back on them with legislation that will make their lives more expensive. I came to Congress to make life more affordable, create good paying jobs, and make Central and Northwestern Illinois sustainable for the next generation. I am thankful to be here in Washington to vote no on behalf of my neighbors in Illinois-17.”
