But more importantly, im confident it will get us on track for real tax relief for working families and will have this bill on the president s desk by the end of this year. Last week when the bill passed i said it wasnt just about changing the trajectory of our economy. Its about changing the future we hand to her kids and our grandkids. I really think, mr. Hi president , thats what this bill will do. Lots of talk in washington about things that frankly will never turn out to be the facts that we are hearing, maybe they are the alternative facts, but one thing i think will happen is that working families will see in one of their first paychecks next year that this tax bill, these tax cuts, really affect them. Whatever your t paycheck is, reflects what you start getting paid on january 1, in virtually every case, working families are going to have more takehome pay. And those numbers are pretty big.

Used that did not allow us to really know what we are doing. As a result, its my understanding there are numerous provisions in both the house and senate bill that will not work and will require changes. Secondly, we profess to want to do this to help middleincome families but in reality this bill hurts middleinincome families, both the house and senate bill. I hope that will be corrected in conference. And the third, and there is no dispute about this, the house bill and senate bill add anywhere between 2 trillion to the deficit of this country and we shouldnt be deficit financing a tax reform bill. Let me first talk very briefly about process. Lets not repeat the mistakes that we made. It was outrageous that late friday night we got a 500pageplus amendment to the pending bill and tried to read it and couldnt even read the handwritten changes that were put into the margins, and then we were asked to vote on that later that evening. That process just is not befitting the United States

Ms. Caputo i wish sam and his next deployment well as his military liaison and i thank him as well for serving our country. Ms. Capito i come to the floor to talk about tax reform and its benefits for middleclass families across this nation, but first id like to highlight a program that is critical to these families, especially the children, especially the children. That is the state Childrens Health insurance program, or as we refer to it and its referred across the nation, chip. Mrs. Capito for more than 20 years, and really, this is the beginning when i first began serving in the West Virginia house of delegates, chip was one of the first programs that i became a strong champion for. And thats because i understand how critical it is that it was then for families in West Virginia and what it is now. When i was in the legislature in the 1990s, i served on the committee charged with creating and imple
Differences are crippled can leaders have said they hope to have a final bill to the president by christmas. The senate is back tomorrow morning and here our floor speeches about the tax reform bill and daca. Mr. President nt. The senator from maryland. I take the time to talk about pending business. Tax proposal going into a Conference Committee between the house and senate as im sure the American People now know that 2 00 a. M. In the morningno on Early Saturday Morning the Senate Passed its version of tax reformef. Of the house had already done that and we are working on a house bill. The motion before us is to take that bill and send it to a conference. We would be better off sending it back to committee so that we could have public hearings and understand what we are voting on rather then send it to a Conference Committee. I hope we will take advantage of the conference to deal with the three fundamental flaws included in both the house and senate bill. First was the prospect used
