mr. larson will assume the chair after the votes. -- thanks to all of you for being here. there are 6 million open jobs across the country and at a time when we have 6.8 million americans who are looking for work and if we want to have an economy, it seems like this would be a problem we should be tackling, that we have a responsibility to tackled this problem and that includes from our tax policy. i wanted to hear from you, the ryan mcconnell plan makes no investments in research but makes it harder for a best and brightest minds to do cutting-edge work that has powered our economy and made the u.s. and unmatched leader in innovation. is this designed for students and researchers? >> this tax bill is not designed for students or researchers. also can they continue to do research in the united states? many of them have discussed leaving to study abroad so they can complete their phd in a space where they know they will be supported by the government. >> thank you. the ryan mcconnell plan makes it easier for corporations to invest in things such as a factory full of robots

mr. larson. >> i want to thank mr. neil and i want to thank the leadership for organizing, what amounts to the only hearing with expert witnesses that we have on this bill. mr. neil started out the conversation with the statement that this was a lost opportunity. and as is evident in all of your testimonies, that clearly is the case, this was a lost opportunity for the country. it's one that we hope that we can regain and i want to thank both will and brenda for your testimony, i think that's the kind of anecdotal evidence that we need to take all across this country. but i want to turn my focus and question to our two expert witnesses on the economy. and it seems to me, you know, outside of the fact that we could address the other side seems to have amnesia when it comes to the national debt or only seems to want to talk about it when a democrat is in the white house. it seems to me that this apparent lack of focus on the deficit was somewhat disguised with almost a cheshire cat grin with grover norquist, with the und
