They are throwing over the cliff the Medicaid recipients, people with dementia. My good friend who has ALS, who is in a wheelchair, thrown over the cliff. They are throwing over teachers. They are throwing over individuals who are believing them that they are going to get jobs, but they are getting no jobs. They are throwing over families, working class families, 86 million of them--throwing them over the cliff. It is not a good ending. It is a tragic ending, and they are standing one by one by one and throwing them over this cliff with this phony tax bill. They are not going to be able to do what is right for those who are truly in need. The benefits for those who are working Americans is temporary, and those of corporations is forever.
