WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI) released the following statement regarding Senate passage of the Republican tax bill:
“Republicans’ bill is a big ugly betrayal of the American people. It will rip access to health care, food, education, energy savings, and more from millions of Americans, all to pay for giveaways for millionaires and billionaires. While billionaires will gain, this bill is 1,000 pages of pain for hardworking families in Hawaii and across our country. While Republicans are hellbent on doing Trump’s bidding—regardless of the consequences for their constituents—Democrats will do everything we can to protect the programs Americans rely on. The fight goes on.”
