Leader, as you well know to vote for tax cuts. Easy. Takes no courage whatsoever. Ive been at this business 45 years. Its opinion my experience its been my experience it is easy for members to vote for tax cuts. What is hard to do is to pay for the policies you adopt. This bill does not do that. This bill makes the deficit worse, exacerbates the confidence that americans have in their fiscal responsibility of their country and puts us in a worse place. So i would hope, mr.
