On the recordFebruary 25, 2025
The average family would save $2,853. That is your crumbs. I would argue, for the average family that has been crushed by the previous 3 or 4 years in inflation, if you don't make 27 percent more money in my district, you are poorer today than you were 4 years ago. They were having their taxes go up $2,853, and that is the average. {time} 1715 I promise you, Madam Chair, I think in my district it was closer to 3,300. I am blessed to have a more prosperous district. That is not crumbs, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
