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
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
Filed with senator gillibrand about three years ago. This just simply provides more flexibility for our military families. The strength of the military is in the military family structure, and what this does is allow the family to either move early or stay longer at these assignments. Normally they are two to threeyear assignments. Lots can happen in two or three years, but not Everything Else just perfectly works out in two or three years. So for employment reasons or for education reasons, if a family decides it is to their advantage to use the Family Support that the military provides, housing and other, and let the families stay another two months to finish school for a teaching contract to end or some other spouse activity to come to a reasonable conclusion or frankly to do just the opposite, to go to the new assignment that you know you already have, but to do that just a little bit earlier so that it works better for the family, to start school on time, to start a job on time th
