Congressional Republicans Abandon Working Families and Vulnerable Communities
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives upheld the Senate’s revisions to the budget bill working its way through Congress. The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” repeals clean energy investments that would create millions of manufacturing and construction jobs around the country.
Research confirms that killing these investments will shutter projects, cost jobs, limit American competitiveness in the global economy, and offshore our domestic manufacturing supply chain of clean technologies over the next decade.
The bill could also increase household energy costs by $400 annually within the next decade and will strip millions of Americans of their healthcare.
The bill is headed to the White House for President Donald Trump’s signature.
Following the bill’s passage, the BlueGreen Alliance released a statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh.
“The GOP passed this disastrous budget bill, and everyday Americans will pay the price. It clearly illustrates that Republicans in Congress do not work for their states or their districts—they work for their campaign donors and billionaires. This bill is a loud wakeup call that the GOP does not value working families.”
