Office since 1949. Nearly half of these measures are measures to take excessive regulations off the book so we can grow this economy. After years of workers and industries bracing for the next regulatory onslaught, all the unpredictability that has been coming with that, we are providing relief for energy jobs, for small businesses, for retirees. It has been an estimated that the steps we have take within this administration will save families and businesses more than 67 billion. That is real relief and that promotes real economic growth. Weve been trying to cut red tape for years and now its finally happening at record levels. All to promote job creation. The president has signed bills making it easier for women to pursue stem careers and to become entrepreneurs. To help our veterans. The president has signed a bill to lower outofpocket costs and to take steps toward fundamental v. A. Reform, very much in need. Were going to keep building on this record. Right now we are working on a funding bill that addresses some of the countrys core priorities, including strengthening our national defense. Last week i was in europe visiting some of our key nato allies. And across the board allies are ready to see america step up and lead again. A big part of that is rebuilding our military. Which is something that were in the middle of doing right now. Were also working to fix our tax code. Today the administration will outline its principles for progrowth tax reform, which is a critical step forward in this effort. Progrowth tax reform means that we will have lower rates, we will have a simpler tax code with fewer brackets, and we will have an i. R. S. That exists only to serve the taxpayer. And we will continue to work to keep our promise to repeal and replace obamacare. So that we can lower costs and create more choices for families. We have undertaken some very big reforms to tackle entrenched problems. Theres a lot of work left to do. But under the president s leadership, this unified government has made a solid start. Thank you. Mr. Mccarthy good morning. Welcome back to many of you. As the speaker talked about those bills that moved to the president s desk prior to this congress, only one time has a Congressional Review Act ever made it all the way to the president s desk and been signed. We have passed 15 inside this house, 13 of those have been signed into law. To create one job creation, but also to create commonsense bring commonsense regulations back that to this country. Many of you watched last night the swearingen in of a new member of congress, ron estes from kansas. Also well take up one from copyright position, very important position to have at the library of congress. Focusing on the future of copyrights and others. Well vote on that today. Tomorrow well take up about freddie and fannie. Freddie and fannie are exempt from the freedom of information act. And the idea of bringing more transparency to government. We will pass a bill to make sure they are no longer exempt from foia. Anybody can get the information dealing with freddie and fannie as we move forward. Well continue to be able to fund this government, making sure that our military men and women have all that they need to not only protect this country, but make the world safe. And i will tell you, walking out of this conference, i see Great Movement when it comes to health care and well continue to keep our promise to repeal and replace obamacare, to make sure insurance costs are lower and people are actually protected from preexisting onditions. The last two weeks have been really good for members to come back to their districts and hear from the people that elected us so we can continue working for the american people, to follow through on the things that are important to them. Mr. Scalise like getting the economy back on track. Like getting the federal government out of the way in so so many areases of their livings, where people are hurting. One of those areas that government has been making harder for families is obamacare. With doubledigit increases every year in premiums. 10,000, 12ds,000dy ductables, with less access for good care. Thats why over these last two weeks, weve been working very closely with our colleagues all across the country to continue making progress and making sure that were not giving up the ultimate objective he of repeal and replacing obamacare. A really Good Progress has been made during the last two weeks. A lot more members are focused on getting to where we need to be. So were not going to stop working until we get that done. In the meantime, weve also been working closely with this president. Ive been really encouraged to see the kind of commitment that President Trump has had on following through on the promises he made to the american people. Getting our economy back on track. Getting rid of regulations that are killing jobs in america. If you look at whats already happened, of course were not even at day 100, i know a lot of people want to already write about what the first 100 days have been like, the good news is, a lot of really good things have happened in that first 100 days and theres still more things that are good that are set to happen. You just look at the economy. Over 500,000 new jobs have been created in this first 100 days. The president set a tone of getting the economy back on track and helping create more jobs. Including signing 13 different pieces of legislation into law that reverse bad regulations that were killing jobs in america. Helping rebuild the coal industry. Helping getting some of these other federal agencies off of the backs of american workers. Signing and green lighting the keystone pipeline. President trump with that one action of green lighting the could he seen it pipeline created tens of thousands of good jobs and helped ensure Americas Energy security. Of course on foreign policy, President Trump has followed through on so many commitments. Number one, just making sure that were enforcing our laws, securing the border. Legal board illegal border crossings down over 60 . Just upholding americas rule of law. Also working with our allies. As you talk to nato allies, like the speakers, i was able to meet with some of our nato allies. President trump has encouraged our nato allies to get up to that 2 level of g. D. P.
