EXCERPT:
VAN HOLLEN: "Well Joe, we’re going to fight this tooth and nail. You and I have seen a lot of budgets from Democratic and Republican presidents. I’ve never seen anything as hateful and abandonable as this. This slams everybody in America; rural America, urban America, everyone in America, except, of course, folks who are very well off, it does include a tax cut for millionaires. If you’re a millionaire you’re going to get an average annual tax cut of at least $50,000 a year. So if you can jet off to Mar-a-Lago every weekend, you’re -- you're just fine. But everybody else, gets hit, and as you said, it -- it’s old people, it’s kids, it’s working people, it’s a total violation of sort of the trust to the American people. And I should say a betrayal of so many of Donald Trump’s own promises from the campaign trail."
