Mr. Speaker, indeed, Republicans were elected last November, but with promises made, promises kept. Despite the extraordinarily ignorant lies on the other side, the American people know that the bill that we will be voting on today reduces taxes, creating jobs. It is the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime. It provides for securing the border. It provides for energy independence. It provides for the ability to have peace through strength. All of this is in the bill. On compassion, it is not compassion to support programs that are ultimately going to fail. Republicans want people who need assistance to receive assistance. Margaret Thatcher has identified what they are proposing, and that is that socialism will work until you run out of other people's money to spend. They are putting the poor people of America at risk. We are the ones with compassion. Additionally, with promises made, promises kept by Donald Trump, I have lived it. I led the delegation to move the Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He did that. People at the State Department said that we shouldn't do it because it leads to dislocation. No, it led to the Embassy being in Jerusalem, and it led to the Abraham Accords.
