On the recordApril 13, 2018
Mr. Speaker, while you are filling out your taxes--I already did mine. I did not procrastinate this time, thank God. I am sure Congressman Lieu is a lot more organized and probably got it done 3 months ago--but when you are doing your taxes, and when you pay your taxes, just remember, some of that money has gone into the pockets of some politicians who did not need it. It could have gone somewhere else. It could have gone to your favorite issue. It could have gone to our troops. It could have gone to some of our more important causes. Instead, it was because one Cabinet member decided that he needed to take a first-class trip instead of sitting in coach like the rest of us. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind Members to direct all remarks to the Chair and to formally yield and reclaim time when under recognition. ____________________
