This bill phases out the deductions that benefit middle-income families. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schneider).

I am for maintaining the status quo by allowing students to deduct their student interest loans. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).

It is getting time for Halloween, so they have put on the disguise on the other side. So what we are hearing today is, from the last two Republican speakers: This is a bad budget. Let's vote ``yes.'' The gentleman from Ohio said a while…

Since the gentlewoman, my friend from Tennessee, remarked upon economic growth, let me, as one who was here at the time, perhaps correct the Record. Bill Clinton's economic growth was higher than Ron Reagan's, and that is not in dispute…

I think that there is a sufficient opportunity here going forward, as the previous gentlemen has spoken, to discuss the whole issue of flood insurance. I just don't think this is the moment to be discussing the flood insurance initiatives…

I stand in support of H.R. 1235, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act, which I introduced along with my colleague from Kentucky (Mr. Barr). People in Kentucky think that they invented basketball. It was…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, as I stand in support of this legislation, it is important to acknowledge that it not only addresses the needs of the residents who are cleaning up after Harvey, but it ensures…

I think that this is a good step in the right direction. I hope that we will also encourage the Department of Justice in addition to what we are attempting to do here. As Mr. Roskam knows, they are part of the challenge in front of us as…

Before I introduce the primary cosponsor of this legislation, I want to respond to something the previous speaker said. Commissioner Koskinen said a number of times in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee that he doesn't write the…

The previous speaker said: How could a group be so far off in their analysis? Well, they were that far off with the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. Alan Greenspan was certainly off. In his commentary about economic growth, we had the…

Today's hearing is an opportunity for us to hear from you about the Administration's vision for U.S. trade.

What is a conference committee? When is the last time one of those occurred in this institution?

Working families did send a strong signal last November. They are frustrated by stagnant wages.

My priority for tax reform is the middle class. The middle class has contracted in the United States over the past two decades.

The American people don't believe that massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires grow the economy.

Tax reform should be about moving the dial to help middle class families prosper.

Income stagnation is a real challenge and one that needs to be addressed in tax reform.

The Tax Code is broken. It is far too complicated and certainly in need of repair.

This procedure that we are witnessing here this morning, based on what happened at the White House for the last 48 hours, has all the charm of a ransom note. The idea that this is put in front of us so that they can provide a tax cut at…

We have debated health care since Harry Truman was President. We have debated health care since Lyndon Johnson offered Medicare and Medicaid. Bob Dole and Mitt Romney and Richard Nixon all understood you needed the mandate to provide…

I thank Judge Hastings for yielding. The previous question I offer with Congresswoman Slaughter would prevent any legislation from being considered if the legislation would deny coverage or require higher premiums for preexisting…

I remind my colleague that his vote for this bill will result in 40,900 people from his congressional district in Iowa losing healthcare coverage. I also want to thank the gentleman for being the first speaker on the Republican side to…

I would remind my colleague that his vote for this bill will result in 38,200 people from his congressional district in Michigan losing their healthcare coverage, and 313,123 people in the State of Michigan, indeed, did sign up for the…

I remind my colleague that her vote for this bill will result in 42,000 people in her congressional district in Indiana losing their healthcare coverage and care. I include in the Record a letter from Republican Governor Snyder of the…

I would remind my colleague that his vote for this bill will result in 70,000 people in his congressional district in South Carolina losing their healthcare coverage. Mr. Speaker, I now yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin…
