mr. marshall: mr. president, i urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. striking the all-powerful agriculture committee's reconciliation instruction will make it more difficult to pay for critical improvements for border security and our national defense. this indicates that democrats don't think there is a single area of waste, fraud or abuse in our federal nutrition programs. in 2022, the snap program had an overpayment of 10%. republicans will find savings in the agriculture committee's jurisdiction while making sure we have a well-targeted safety nutrition net for those in need. i urge a no vote. i yield back. the presiding officer: there is a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: the clerk: ms. alsobrooks. ms. baldwin. mr. banks. mr. barrasso. mr. bennet. mrs. blackburn. mr. blumenthal. ms. blunt rochester. mr. booker. mr. boozman. mrs. britt. mr. budd. ms. cantwell. mrs. capito. mr. cassidy. mr. coons. mr. cornyn. ms. cortez masto. mr. cotton. mr. cramer. mr. crapo. mr. cruz. mr. curtis. mr. daines. ms. duckwort

senator marshall: thank you, mr. chairman. welcome. glad to have you here. i want to speak today in terms of hardworking families in kansas. the average salary back home for kansans is about $50,000 a year. over the last four years we have seen cumulative inflation of over 20%. so that $50,000 only really could purchase about $40,000 worth of goods and service. almost $1,000 a month hit to the average kansan. when we think about the trump tax cuts, those put $1,000 a month back into the pockets of kansans. overall, if this trump tax cut goes away, it will cost americans $4.3 trillion over 10 years. middle america is going to get hit with about 60% of that. again, $1,000 a month. if those tax cuts goes away it will impact hardworking kansans to the tune of $1,000 a month. i just want you to comment just a second on how big a priority gerting these tax cuts made permanent would be and how it would impact our economy and the hardworking kansans back home? mr. vought: senator, thank you for the question. i think it would devastate their bottom line and having to
