I heard the gentlewoman from South Dakota talk about all the stories that she could tell. Sadly, that is what our Republican friends have done. They want to tell stories cherry-picked, but they are afraid to have hearings from the people whom this affects. We haven't heard from the experts, from the academics, and from people in business. They were afraid to have hearings on their tax bill, rushing it through, and they didn't even know what was in it. Now they are doubling down, adding another trillion dollars of debt without having a foundation factually to let the people know what is going on. Look at their budget. They have declared war on Social Security and on Medicare. They understand that it is not sustainable. The tax cuts don't pay for themselves. They are putting at risk things that America cares about like Social Security and like Medicare--fundamental issues that matter. I hope that if the American public entrusts us with the control of Congress next year that we will go forward, listen to them, make it transparent, and base it on facts.
