mr. brown: mr. president, thank you. this month this body has spent much of its time pushing a tax bill that rewards corporations that ship jobs overseas while doing nothing for hardworking families. spent time cutting taxes on the wealthiest people in the country, cutting taxes for corporations that ship jobs overseas and giving them more incentives to do it by the way they have actually constructed the bill, rewarding their largest billionaire contributors. at the same time they've ignored the children's health insurance program. letters are going out to families, 200,000 children in my state get the children's health insurance program. their parents are, parents in many states are getting letters from the government saying sorry your insurance is going away because of the inaction of this body. senators and house members who have insurance provided for by taxpayers, we're not doing our jobs. we get insurance paid for by taxpayers. 200,000 children in ohio and families are going to lose theirs. but we're doing tax cuts
