On the recordDecember 12, 2017
Mr. Speaker, the Republican tax scam will raise taxes on 36 million middle class Americans, undermine Medicare, and explode the deficit. It will saddle our children and grandchildren with more than $1 trillion in additional debt simply to pay for an unnecessary, un-American, unconscionable tax cut for millionaires, billionaires, special interests, corporations, and big donors. To justify this reckless Ponzi scheme, the Treasury Department has produced a 1-page analysis. Really? One page? That is the best you can do? You are insulting the intelligence of the American people, insulting the intelligence of this Congress, and insulting the intelligence of our Democratic republic. The American people deserve a better deal. ____________________
