“If we are going to borrow $2 trillion from China over the next 10 years, it better be for a very good reason. And lavishing huge tax breaks to multinational corporations and to the most wealthy amongst us is not a good reason. I am very concerned about many of my fiscally conservative friends across the aisle. So I offered an amendment that would have expanded the endangered species list to include fiscally conservative Republicans because they are about to go extinct under this bill. And under this bill, they are creating a mess that is going to take years to clean up because of the potential for fraud and abuse. Consider this: They are pitting a hastily written bill, drafted without one hearing, considered without feedback from people back home, without proper vetting, all over the course of a few short weeks against some of the smartest accountants and tax attorneys that money can buy. Who do you think is going to win that battle? This is a bill that was drafted of, for, and by the powerful special interests in Washington, and it should be rejected. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Once again, the Chair reminds Members to direct their remarks to the Chair.”
