People who have supported the Democratic Party policies for years cannot come to this floor and question the morality of Republicans. President Trump has his pen in hand and is waiting for the House to complete its work. We have championed this legislation for months, have guided it through the appropriate processes, and now we are on the 1 yard line. America deserves to move even further into the golden age. H.R. 1 unlocks the opportunity to do that. It is time to get this done. Let's be crystal clear about the content of this historic bill. We are restoring our borders once left defenseless and without redress. We are protecting our great Nation by investing in our military and military families. We are preserving tax cuts that made the United States economy the envy of the world just 8 years ago. We are reviving our Nation's fiscal outlook by finally cutting wasteful spending and unleashing our economy from harmful restraint--restore, protect, preserve, and revive. The failure to act would yield only the opposite. Our Democrat colleagues would tear down the border wall and return us to open-border policies. They would have us oversee a continued decline in our military readiness despite unprecedented theaters of global conflict. They would destroy our economy in their unending appetite for continued tax increases to feed their spending binges. The choice is clear. We must deliver.

I really get irritated when people stand up on this floor and tell half-truths to the American people. One of our colleagues just talked about the fact that wealthy people pay small percentages of their income on taxes, but what he didn't…
