On the recordMarch 25, 2015
To the Republican leader, let me just say I think there is a lot of confusion on the Republican side. This is the first time since I have been on the Budget Committee that we have had two official Republican budgets on the floor of the House. That is a little bit of confusion here. I am really pleased to be joined by super-reinforcements, a gentlewoman who understands that we power our economy by making sure we have an economy that works for all people, not just folks at the very top; that economic growth is based on an economy where hard work translates into higher incomes for everybody; and that we have a tax system that rewards work, not one riddled with tax breaks where 17 percent of those tax breaks goes to the top 1 percent. That is a tax code written by lobbyists. We want a tax code that is fair to the American people and the American worker. Mr. Chairman, I am very proud to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the Democratic leader.
