"Murray at Budget Committee hearing: This is not a normal budget!

If this were a normal Budget hearing, I would start off by commenting that budgets are statements of values and priorities--and digging into what various proposals said about what kind of country we were, and what kind of country we wanted to be

If this were a normal Budget Committee hearing, I would point out that the so-called immigration proposals it includes are wasteful and divisive

If this were a normal Budget Committee hearing, I would point out that it is wildly misguided and simply wrong to ask low-income families, and workers who need a hand up to bear the brunt of massive cuts

If this were a normal Budget Committee hearing, I would point out how absurd it is to cut $200 billion in financial aid for college while students are already struggling to afford college and keep their heads above the water

If this were a normal budget committee hearing I'd point out some serious concerns with the Administration's request for veterans' care

If this were a normal Budget Committee hearing, I may even praise some of the attention that is finally being paid to tackling our opioids crisis

But Director Mulvaney--this is anything but a normal budget and Budget Committee hearing"
