mr. scalise: well, i first want to congratulate kevin brady and the ways and means committee for the hard work that they've put in to get us to this point. you look at this plan and it represents over 50 members of congress who brought their ideas forward as well who represent every region of this country. everybody knows that this tax code is broken. it's one of the things that's holding back our economy, it's holding back our ability to compete with other countries. i am tired of seeing american companies leave america to be able to remain competitive. all that president obama does is criticizes the company when they're on their way out the door. doesn't it make a lot more sense to actually go and fix the problems that are causing american businesses to leave just to be competitive? that's what this code does. this new plan completely reorganizes the tax code that we all know is broken and creates a more simplified plan that makes it easier for families to save for their retirement. it makes it easier for small businesses to grow. we completely eliminate the death tax, one of the most i

mr. scalise has brought this forward and co-sponsors as a response.ing only happens in washington when an idea has momentum. i couldn't have been more excited when i was back home recently to talk to several of my constituents strongly dedicated to a bipartisan solution on climate change. former representative bob inglis actually came to my district and met with me, met with some of our leadership folks in our district about how we can do something to act on climate from a republican perspective. i'm firmly of the belief that any action has to be bipartisan. just looking at the way our country is balanced, i mean, certainly if the democrats were in a position where we had 60 seats in the senate, where we had a majority in the house, where we would have the president, i'd encourage us to move forward and implement some kind of carbon tax cut but frankly it's an unlikely scenario. it's more likely that a scenario will require support from both sides of the aisle. so we should be talking what it takes to get that kind of support. that's the discussion, t
