Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, this bill would cause household resources for the poorest Americans to decrease while the obscenely rich will get richer.

I offered two amendments in the Rules Committee, one to prevent people with disabilities from being kicked off Medicaid and one to help low-income students afford an education that they earned.

Unfortunately, Republicans refused to consider them, as they yet again worked through the dead of night to rip off hardworking Americans and give tax breaks to the richest Americans who don't need them.

Even FOX News reports that it is projected to increase the Federal deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade.

This bill is nothing more than a vanity project for the President, and it betrays the American people. I strongly oppose this reckless legislation and urge my colleagues to do the right thing.
