Marshal of the house Joanna McClinton (D-Hiladelphia/Delaware) spoke on Wednesday about the “One Big Beautiful Bill” of the Trump administration and its influence on the community of nations, while calling for Harrisburg Republicans to create chaos when the budget impasse starts its eighth week.
Talking to reporters on the availability of media led by NewDeal, a selective central network of state and local leaders from all over the country, McClinton criticized almost everything that the administration has done since January.
“We’ve been crazy for only six months in this madness, and this president has been able to relax so much protection, so many freedom, so many things that we, Americans, maintain true and we need in our daily lives.
“We saw every campaign promise to make America great again, it just didn’t happen,” she continued. “In fact, the opposite is happening. Since the beginning of this administration, we saw political games over and over again.” We saw how we created chaos in cultural wars. We saw anti -democratic orders every day. When we look at the fact that the Republicans in the United States Chamber and the Senate simply went with this program, [one] It is deliberately cruel and economically harmful, it will hurt us in the future. “
The speaker talked about the divided legislator Pennsylvania, because the democrats keep the majority in the state chamber while GOP controls the State Senate.
“Unfortunately, the Republicans in Harrisburg follow the same guide to create chaos and already turbulent time,” she said. “We are in the eighth week that we do not have the state budget. Currently, in the part of the state, which gives 40 percent of our Harrisburg revenues, we see a great hit in our public transit system. This is an infrastructure that not only supports Philadelphia, but supports all our surrounding poviats and parts.
“We are in this situation because of the soulless inaction of Republicans in our state senate. [They] Refuse to come to work for most of July, and then sent us an invoice for them not posted just two weeks ago. “
Trump’s administration policy changes Pennsylvania’s budget primarily through federal cuts of expenses, which transfers costs to the community of nations, especially in the field of healthcare, food assistance and education.
McClinton said that she did not believe that the great, attractive bill and his Republican supporters directly led to the budget deadlock in Pennsylvania. But she said that her colleagues fulfilled their mission and called “created chaos” that led to the deadlock.
“When we look at what is happening in Harrisburg, we made every effort from the democratic club Pennsylvania a democratic house to develop all the necessary parts of the budget agreement,” she said. “Governor [Josh] Shapiro He gave his budget address in February, and from spring we sent marijuana legalization, we sent to boost the minimum wage. Finally, we sent a package of expenses after we didn’t hear our friends in the Senate for weeks, weeks and weeks when they were on vacation, and now we are in the eighth week without the state budget, with our schools, our poviats, our transit agencies, everyone needs us to act.
“What I have seen and what is the reason is the Republicans from Washington to Harrisburg. This is a inventive chaos with our budget system. This is not a problem directly as a result of a immense, attractive bill. However, we see that chaos was created, and families abandoned in need when my depots say that they have problems with working for work longer, or the route, and the family is one ending.
Shapiro proposed in February a budget worth $ 51.6 billion, and State House donated his version, calling on expenses by $ 50.6 billion. The version of the Senate of the Act on funds, which was adopted on August 12, reduced this number to $ 47.6 billion-what GOP calls “without tax increase”.
