I thank you for your very firm statement on the urgency of this legislation.

I do applaud the House for coming together in a bipartisan way.

That is why I introduced a permanent bill with several of my colleagues, including Senators Hassan, Boozman, Warnock, Collins, and Fetterman.

I'm going back to this comes up why can't you guys do something about saving Social Security and Medicare?

Taxpayers and workers, and investors are smarter than we are in the United States Senate, because we've had 93 marginal tax rates.
