Mr. Speaker, only 1 minute? Well, one minute is longer than all of the hearings that have been held by Republicans on this sham of a tax bill that is so very broad in impact and so shallow in analysis. Only one minute? That is more than all of the Trump Administration officials who did not have the courage to come and face our committee and be questioned about this lousy proposal. {time} 1315 Mr. Speaker, one minute? That is more time than all of the businesses in America and economists were given to explain the nature of these corporate giveaways. Why should a tax bill that is so broad get less time than it takes to microwave popcorn? Haste does make waste. This tax plan, born in the shadows and rammed through here 90-to-nothing will lay waste to family budgets, lay waste to affordable healthcare, and undermine our national debt. This tax scam must be rejected. They want it through here before the American people know what hit them, but if we speak out and remain firm in our resolve, we will defeat this sham of a bill.
