Speech #1040015138

As many of my colleagues have urged on this floor. it is critical that before this amendment is approved. its proponents should tell the American people how this is going to get the job done. Unfortunately. so far. we have seen very little inclination to do so. Proponents do not want to tell the people that taxes for ordinary Americans could skyrocket. They do not want to tell the people that Social Security benefits could be slashed. They do not want to tell the people about lost Medicare services or fewer FBI agents or fewer border guards. or weakening of immigration enforcement. Mr. President. are these kinds of drastic consequences really likely?
