Liberal Group: ‘Republican Cuts Kill’

Published May 14, 2015 7:05pm ET



A liberal political action group has produced an ad and fundraising campaign that claims “Republican cuts” to infrastructure spending and Amtrak funding have “killed again.” The Agenda Project Action Fund, which has been behind such campaigns as the ad featuring a Paul Ryan look-alike pushing an elderly woman off a cliff and another with the slogan “F*ck Tea,” is raising money in the wake of the recent derailment of an Amtrak train near Philadelphia that has killed eight people and injured hundreds more.

“Year after year, Republicans have run for office almost exclusively on cutting spending,” reads the group’s fundraising page. “Many of those cuts have been utterly reckless. It is high time someone points to the real human costs of this kind of irresponsible governance. The egregious and utterly unnecessary cuts to Amtrak prevented vital upgrades to our aging railways and crippled the system that transports more than 30 million American citizens each year.”
