I recognize and thank the chairwoman of the
committee. To my good friend that was on the floor, I think he wants limited
government when disaster is not in his district. So I think it is important as a member of this Budget Committee of
which I am so very proud of its service, as the Democrats have worked
so hard, and as a member of the Homeland Security Committee, a
committee called upon
for domestic tranquility and domestic security, might I just add that
we are now marking up a bill just a few floors away from this House
that is asking for $15 billion to pay for a border wall in the midst of
the horror of tragedy and in the midst of a lowering number of
individuals even coming to the United States across the border, the
very border wall that was told to us would be paid for by the people of
Mexico. But I think the important point is that my good friends who are
supporting this dastardly budget that tears at the fabric of America
are, as well, supporting a tax cut for the wealthy that will provide
$2.9 trillion of debt to the American people and increase the debt as
well as the deficit. It will mean that working and middle class
families will have taxes raised on them by $470 billion.
