massachusetts, mr. neal, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the bill currently under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. brady: mr. speaker, today we're delivering on our tax reform promise to the american people. for the first time in over three decades, we're delivering a new tax code that provides more jobs, fairer taxes and bigger paychecks to americans across the country. with this bill, a middle income family of four earning $73,000 a year will see a tax cut of over $2,000. our local job traders will see the lowest rates in modern history, so they can invest more in their workers and in their future. and our businesses will finally have a tax code that helps them compete and win anywhere in the world. especially here at home. this is our moment to make history. to make good on our promise. and to make tax reform a reality for the first time in

. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. neal: mr. speaker, what you're about to hear from our republican friends for the next 30 minutes is the following. a mixture of theology and science fiction. and then they're going to take you to revisionist history. this is the most regressive piece of tax legislation that has come from the ways and means committee in the 25 years that i have been a member. this is not about simplification. when you have a chance to look at the phase-ins and the phase-outs, you'll be passed out by the time they get to the expiration dates. they say it's about simplicity. it was going to be on a postcard. you're going to need to carry a billboard around with you to understand what's in this actual bill. and here's the best part. when secretary mnuchin said, mr. speaker, that under no circumstances would people at the top get tax relief. well, i guess if you're formally in the 39.6% tax bracket, which is lowered to 37%, that that's

. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. i'd like to yield one minute to the gentleman from michigan, the longest serving member of the ways and means committee, and a well-deserved one minute, i might add, mr. levin. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan is recognized for one minute. without objection. mr. levin: in all of my 35 years in congress, this is one of the most deceitful bills i've ever seen. it's deceitful when republicans say the bill is focused on the middle class. it's really aimed at making the very wealthy even wealthier and forcing millions of middle class families to pay higher taxes. it's deceitful when they say it makes the tax code simpler, even as legislation creates complicated new loopholes, while allowing existing ones such as carried interest to continue. it's deceitful when the bill will increase the outsourcing of american jobs by providing a lower tax rate on foreign investment compared to investing here. it's deceitful about the debt. republicans say, don't worry about the expiring provisions. but extending them would raise the bill's already

take their conversations out of the chamber and clear the aisle. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. let me provide some historical perspective in january of 2001 when bill clinton said good-bye we were looking at a $4.5 trillion surplus and record economic growth. c.b.o. said that the surplus might even go beyond $5.6 trillion. what happened during that period of time? after the bush tration left, we were staring $6.1 trillion worth of debt. so what happened? in 2001, the republican party t taxes by $1.3 trillion and said it was all about economic growth. and then they came back in 2003 hasn't been owth substantial enough and cut itedly $2.3 trillion in the tax cuts and repatriation tax holiday where the money is returned at 5.25%. none of which happened. where are we tonight, we are back to the same old pattern and playbook. they promised job growth and in a meeting with the president recently, he said he didn't understand why we couldn't have job growth of 4%, 5%, 6%. i don't know an economist think we are going to have that but use it as an excuse that is going to add $1 trillio

families making over $900,000 a year. mr. neal: i yield the gentleman an additional one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. hoyer: this bill adds $1.5 trillion to the deficit. this is not tax reform. so republicans may pat themselves on the back in the coming days for having finally pass something out of congress. unfortunately, it's a bad thing. i urge them to remember that this vote may be the most consequential in their careers, not positively. i say to my friends across the aisle, stand up and say no with us and commit to start working on a product all members of the chamber can be proud of as was the case in 1986. that's what ronald reagan did. in 1986, reagan did not go down this reckless and irresponsible path. stand up for the principles you use to aspows but are -- espouse but are now about to abandon. stand up for fiscal responsibility. stand up for the middle class. stand up for what the american people hope we would do. this is not it. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: mr. speaker, i'm pro
