Explain why you gave most of the help to people in America who need it the least.

I am still dismayed by the fiscal recklessness of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

You can't say I didn't warn you on this floor.

We didn't debate that in this Committee. We didn't get evidence on that, and now they are being dropped on us out of the sky.

We were promised that the massive unpaid-for tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy would trickle down to the middle class and working families.

the Republican tax bill increased Federal borrowing, not to expand programs aimed at the struggling low and middle class, but to provide handouts to the richest 1 percent.

We never talked about what the costs are going to be for the benefits for people who don't need it.

I am really tired of hearing small business used as a shield for policies where the lion's share of the benefits accrue to those who need them the least.

A massive tax overhaul should have created a Tax Code that rewards effort, not simply the good fortune of those who are already at the top.

Social Security is the working person's retirement guarantee.

It establishes a minimum benefit for Social Security that is 125 percent above the poverty level.

you can outlive an annuity but you cannot outlive Social Security.
