Udall: Trump budget would be 'devastating' to NM's economy

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — President Donald Trump’s proposed budget would be “devastating to New Mexico’s economy,” U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., said.

The proposal would make cuts to education funding, Medicaid, Medicare and water projects, “and roll back environmental programs that keep our air and water clean and safe,” according to the senator.

“The deep proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP food assistance, housing assistance and Social Security disability, and cutting billions from Medicare, would risk the health and security of families all across our state,” he said.

Trump’s $4.7 trillion budget blueprint calls for boosting defense spending and making $2.7 trillion in nondefense cuts. It projects a $1.1 trillion deficit.
