Condemns U.S. House of Representatives for passage of budget resolution cutting $1.5 trillion from federal budget and urges U.S. Senate to reject House resolution.

This New Jersey Senate Resolution (SR 126) condemns the U.S. House of Representatives for passing a budget resolution that would cut $1.5 trillion from federal spending over ten years. It specifically targets $880 billion in cuts to healthcare programs (like Medicaid and Medicare), $330 billion from education funding, and $230 billion from food assistance programs (SNAP). The resolution urges the U.S. Senate to reject the House plan, citing that these cuts would severely impact New Jersey residents: approximately 1.8 million people rely on NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid/CHIP), and 830,000 depend on SNAP for food support. The resolution emphasizes that reduced federal funding could lead to cuts in benefits, eligibility restrictions, or loss of critical healthcare and nutrition services.
