If you will listen, this bill is trickle-down at its worst. Except for the very wealthy trickle, it is, at best, a trickle; and for millions, not even that; and for the economy at large, a discredited theory. It is a deficit time bomb. The Speaker said to the middle class: Don't worry, the expiring tax cuts will surely be extended. That means the real deficit from this bill is $2.5 trillion, a humongous deficit wrapped in your hypocrisy--in your hypocrisy. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are again reminded that they should address their remarks to the Chair.
