Sullivan: GOP Budget Betrays Our Values

[FightinNewDem]

Enough with the horse-race, insider crap. We have a congressional seat to win!

(MANCHESTER)- Calling it a betrayal of fundamental American values, State Rep. Peter Sullivan today criticized the proposed federal budget being advanced by the Republican congressional leadership.

On Thursday afternoon, House Majority Leader Roy Blunt pulled the budget reconcilliation bill from the House floor when several moderate Republicans refused to support the bill.

New Hampshire Congressman Jeb Bradley has indicated that he would support the budget, siding with the House's hard-liners.

"The Republican budget proposal amounts to a betrayal of the fundamental American values of community and compassion" said Sullivan. "This proposal increases the budget deficit while cutting child health resources, food stamps and school lunch programs. It's anti-kids, anti-family and anti-taxpayer. Jeb Bradley should be embarrassed to be supporting this kind of nonsense.

"It seems that the House leadership has confused the Corporal Works of Mercy with "Looking Out for Number One". This budget doesn't reflect New Hampshire values, and Jeb's support for it shows that he can not be trusted to stand with his former neighbors."
