I thank the gentleman for his remarks. I will say on this floor--the fact-checkers check me--millions and millions and millions of middle class taxpayers will get a tax increase under this bill. Check me. Millions of people. Why do I say…
I thank the gentleman for that information. I am going to have some specific questions about the tax bill, but before I do that, it is our understanding that substantial changes are being made in the tax bill that was put on the floor last…
Regular order is having hearings and witnesses, is it not? I yield to the gentleman from California. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, for the last three decades, we have done that, and I don't think the American people want to continue to wait…
A lot more is the answer. Why is the NFIB, Mr. Speaker, against this bill if it is so good for small business? Why is the AARP against this bill if it is so good for small business? Why is the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which is worried…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. He talks about IPAB. Of course, we add the $17.5 billion to the debt. The gentleman did not mention the $1.5 trillion in additional debt that the passage of the tax bill will result in, but he did…
We are going to debate the substance of the bill; we are going to debate it fully. We think it will not hold up well under that debate. Therefore, we will have a significant difference. He is right. The best economy anybody in this House…
I thank my friend for that information. First, I want to start by saying that the majority leader and I and four other Members of the House had an opportunity to visit both Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands last weekend since we had our…
I didn't yield yet. I simply say to my friend, had I instructed or the leader instructed, that outcome may have been different. However, there are some really substantive issues that we had, we had for a long time, we negotiated for a long…
