Tester Statement on President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Proposal

U.S. Senator Jon Tester released the following statement on President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget proposal:

“Too many people in Washington don’t understand the challenges Montana families face. At a time when working families are dealing with rising costs on everything from housing to health care to groceries, I’m demanding that Washington pass a budget that lowers costs. The last thing we need to do is strip Montana seniors of their hard-earned benefits, and I appreciate the President making clear that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are off the table, along with laying out plans to reduce our debt by making millionaires and big corporations pay their fair share. As Congress works to craft the budget, I’ll be laser focused on ensuring our military has the resources to defeat evolving national security threats from adversaries like China, and I will continue fighting to ensure our men and women in uniform and veterans and their families receive the care, benefits, and support they’ve earned.”
