I want to dispel the myths of the smoke and mirrors that are flaming up across the way with my friends. Do they not recognize the opportunity that we have for reducing the costs of healthcare with subsidies so that working families can get the Affordable Care Act? Or excitingly, I am so delighted that there is a cap on insulin. Diabetes is raging for those on Medicare, and we are going to get those on private insurance as well. Let's tell the truth about taxes. No taxes on those making $400,000 or less but getting the $160 billion in the top 1 percent that have refused to pay their fair share. What is this folder? These are letters from my county attorneys and communities about concrete batch facilities put in neighborhoods of Hispanics and African Americans by Trinity Gardens in the East End and Aldine. This legislation, $60 billion, will help save these people who have been living in their homes and losing their homes because environmental toxins like a concrete batch facility gets put in their neighborhood and creates respiratory diseases: asthma, bad grass, and parks that you can't play in. Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation. Why? Because it is for the working people in America.
