we had the opportunity to build on success of tax reform to ensure that america's economy continues to grow. our local businesses told us the slow growth status quo of 2% for the past decade simply isn't working. we decided to go bold and change that with historical reforms to help them grow and create jobs along main street. just in the last few days in town hall meetings across our district, i've heard from local restaurant owners who are adding new workers, from auto dealers were adding two more employees. three business that is increasing their purchase american-made construction equipment by $2 million this year because of the tax code here .. we're eager to work together to find common ground, keep our economy moving forward and keep us there. today we play-ed a lot of important things together on behalf our communes and right now we have a strong economy growing stronger with the help of tax reform. we're looking forward to continue to work for fine-tune the code for america and we're excited to move forward with president trump and especially you as well, secretary mnuchin. we

immigrants who come to this country come legally and with their sleeves rolled up to work and build america. there are those who want to solve a problem and those who want to exacerbate a problem for the election. host: you can see more of that on our website. you can see the whole speech .rom nancy pelosi on c-span.org negotiations go back-and-forth in the house and senate to keep the government from running out of money by the end of the night. pete, washington, d.c., you are next. caller: we got cut off earlier. you were asking about the furlough. it does affect me. it is one of those things, we will keep the military working, but we will keep the civilian force. they are needed as far as continuity and having the wherewithal to execute these missions. getting back to the balanced budget, back to clinton, it is about bipartisanship. i don't understand what has happened since that time, where people are writing such a hard hard-- are riding such a line that they will not listen to each other. is pete's. let's go to spring, texas, nick, you are next. caller: there has to be better accounta

america. they are hardworking men and women who leave behind everything they know to build a new and better life for themselves and their children here. they breathe new life into our country. they revitalize the american dream. you've heard the stories. they go to silicon valley and take a look at some of the best and brightest when it comes to high tech, and they marvel at the fact of how many of them were immigrants to this country who were finally able to take that great idea and turn it into a great business with a lot of employees well paid, helping this country move forward. it was 17 years ago that i introduced a bill called the dream act. it was bipartisan legislation that gave a path to citizenship to immigrants who came to the united states as children. these young people have come to be known as dreamers. now i know the president went to a republican retreat last week and mocked the term dreamers. he did the same in his state of the union address. but i will tell you, i'm proud of the term dreamers. before this bill was introduced, if you asked about dreamers and who they were, most

because there were no w m d's present in iraq and now was that it was a belief of nation building is actually the america and its allies. as announced during is election campaign and that there will be no nation building and this certainty now that they are not going to let anything for the nation building up the building of. destruction in iraq this is actually part of the trump policy of no nation building. actually they actually have have destroyed the iraqi nation the iraqi country not just a dog but the office think that testify assayas not just inside it are around iraq and in the whole world and that is just because of the america now if the americans will not. play that role of the building of a dog the can foresee the emergence of i.s.a.'s and. surrounding areas. and so i suppose it should be no surprise that if donald trump had pledged to to end nation building but other of the routes that may be iraq could compel votes of course the destruction in the country to pay up. you know what mr trump and his administration is trying to do is that they're pushing their arab allies like saudi arabia kuw
