Mark Kelly: “the Treasury Department's use of family economic income is bizarre, unusual, ill-conceived, unconventional, unorthodox…”

“the Treasury Department's use of family economic income is bizarre, unusual, ill-conceived, unconventional, unorthodox, irregular, deceptive, misleading, dishonest, aberrant, divorced from reality, fanciful, factually challenged, preposterous, outrageous, inaccurate, unsupported by common sense, unconscionable, unsubstantiated, brilliantly calculated to distort the truth about the Republican tax plan and, alas, oh so typical of this administration. In short, the Treasury Department's use of family economic income is a fraud. Mr. Speaker, what I am hearing from the other side this morning about tax cuts for the wealthy is an insult to the middle class constituents that I represent. Can we just imagine my going back to my district and scornfully attacking middle class families as 'the rich,' as somehow morally deficient for thinking they know better how to spend their own money than the politicians in Washington? I have gotten used to listening to the complete incapacity to understand elementary economics on the other side, but today marks a new low. A portrait of George Washington hangs behind us. I wonder what he would think about family economic income.”
