Mr. Speaker, I am grateful that President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are delivering on the first meaningful tax cuts in a generation. These tax cuts are in the tradition of Ronald Reagan, allowing American families to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks and creating jobs. Over 80 percent of hardworking American families will keep more of their own money. As early as February, American families will see more of their own money revealed in their paychecks. Additionally, by lowering the corporate tax to 21 percent, American businesses will become more competitive overseas and jobs will be created, such as Nephron Pharmaceuticals, led by Lou and Bill Kennedy of Cayce. I am grateful for the success of Speaker Paul Ryan, Chairman Kevin Brady, and all House Republicans in delivering tax cuts for American families. In the words of the great President Ronald Reagan: ``Whenever we lower our tax rates, our entire Nation is better off.'' In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. I want to thank Ambassador Nikki Haley for standing tall with President Donald Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. God Bless Guatemala, courageously led by President Jimmy Morales, for being a friend of America today in the United Nations. ____________________
