A revote--a revote--within less than 24 hours of original passage. This proves that this bill is rotten to its core. But here is what the Republicans aren't going to fix: They didn't fix the fact that this bill won't provide economic security to hardworking families. They didn't fix the fact that this bill will subsidize mansions for the wealthy, not renters or first-time home buyers. They didn't fix the fact that it won't help families save for education or their retirement. They didn't fix the fact that it will saddle our grandchildren with $2 trillion of debt. Mr. Speaker, this bill is not an investment in hardworking men and women or Americans. In fact, it rips healthcare from 13 million Americans. It is an investment in the GOP's base--corporate special interests--the wealthiest among the wealthiest, and the entire Trump empire. This bill is a political calculation they think will get them a win on election day. But be warned: Americans are fed up and fired up. They know their cronies are laughing all the way to the bank. But the American people are organizing all the way to November.
