ms. sanchez, and we'll take questions. ms. sanchez: good afternoon, everyone. there are a mere 11 legislative days left in 2017. so there isn't a whole lot of time to get everything done before the end of the year. all of the business that our government needs to accomplish. time is ticking and republicans ultimately have the responsibility for keeping the government opened. they control all of the branches of government. they control a majority in the united states house of representatives. and if they are looking to come to the democrats for votes, that they should be able to accomplish with just their caucus alone, then we're going to ask for things in return. we have we have made our priorities very clear. democrats want to see something happen to provide legislative relief for dreamers. so if we need a legislative fix for deferred action for childhood arrival kids. democrats want to see chip re-authorized. that is the children's health plan that is run through states. states are rupping out of money. that expired at the end of ept -- running out of money.

ms. sanchez, for three minutes. ms. sanchez: i rise in opposition of h.r. 1, the g.o.p. tax scam. -- massive corporate tax growth do not guarantee job growth or higher wages. the only thing guaranteed is the $2.3 trillion this scam yazz to the deficit. democrats are serious about passing comprehensive tax reform that's fair and puts a little more money in the pockets of working americans. this fiasco of a bill is not fair. corporations get a massive 15% tax cut, but what do working families get? they get nickeled and dimed. despite student loan debt surpassing $1 trillion, this bill eliminates the student loan interest deduction which only allows those earning $80,000 or less to claim it in the first place. squarely hurting middle-class americans who are trying to pay off debt, save for a home or buy a new car. teachers will no long are be able to deduct expense -- longer be able to deduct expenses that they purchase with their own money for their classrooms. yet, corporations are able to deduct the same supplies that they purchase. seniors and people with chronic illnes

ms. sanchez, hell no. mr. higgins, no. if 20, no. chu, no. chairman brady, aye. >> clerk will call the roll. . 16nos. hr one will be reported to the house of representatives. i asked the staff authorized to make technical informant changes to the bill. members have two days to file with the supplemental edition. to take a moment to thank the members of this committee for their tireless hours of work on the tax cuts and jobs act. i would like to thank the brilliant drafters, the house office who have been working on this bill for months. thanks to the hard-working team and joint committee on taxation, the attorneys, accountants, support staff would advise us and our staff, without whom, none of this would be possible. the bill is passed, the committee is adjourned. host: good morning on this friday, november 10 and welcome to the washington journal. we feature a newspaper or other publication in our area, today we are talking with people at the washington examiner. that's where our cameras are. we will talk to an editor and reporter. before we

ms. sanchez all those in favor signify by say aye. >> aye. >> those opposed no. >> no. >> further proceedings on the amendment will be postponed. are there additional amendments to the amendment in the nature of the substitute? mr. davis? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have an amendment that strengthens family -- >> could you success penspend, . mr. davis, you're recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have an amendment that strengthens families by reinstating the adoption tax credit with refundability permanently restoring the exclusions for employer dependent care and adoption assistant programs and child tax credits to address the rising cost of child care and to benefit more working families. this amendment is fiscally responsible in that it offsets any costs associated with supporting middle class families with the minor increase in the corporate tax rate. the adoption tax credit is a bipartisan credit that helps families offset some the of the costs of adoption, especially with children with special needs. currently the benefit is nonrefundable for up to $13,000 of qualifying adoption

ms. sanchez, you're recognized to speak on the amendment. >> certainly. thank you, mr. chairman. you know, what i find interesting in this discussion is this overly rosy belief that the tax cuts are going to pay for themselves through growth. and in fact, when we met the one time with the president, the first time that dems were invited to that table, he said that he predicted we could get up to 6% growth easily. and i asked him at that time, well, what if we don't hit the 3% projected growth rate, and he didn't have an answer. i suspect my friends on the other side of the aisle don't have an answer for what happens if that doesn't materialize. i do have an answer. that means we will go further and further into debt, on the wish or hope or the prayer that our economy will grow at 3% or more rate for a sustained period of time. a projection which, by the way, most economists think is not possible under this plan. there's nothing in this bill that guarantees that our economy will grow by at least 3% yearly. so we should at least, at the very least, have a provision such as mr. blum

ms. sanchez. after 2023, the state taxes are repealed. >> so, after 2023, you can hand over $1 billion from your estate tax-free. is that correct? >> yes. >> at the same time we're reducing the estate tax and the republican plan and millionaires and trainers continue to see their tax burden get smaller and smaller, this fiasco of a tax plan phases out the tax credit that filers under spouses can claim. so what they intend to give to the middle class, they turn around and give it away after five years. forhe taxpayer credit taxpayers spouse and not dependent child expires in five years, yes. >> set the same time they take way that middle-class family benefit reducing 20 the estate tax. zero the estate tax. is that correct? i'm sorry, there is one year difference. are anyone wonder how they going to pay for allowing millionaires and billionaires to keep their money? they are going to take away the tax relief the republicans are so happy to say they they are providing middle-class families. think abo

ms. sanchez. >> i ask unanimous consent to enter into the record and article from the la times to hit the middle class. >> without objection, so ordered. >> i would also like unanimous consent to put my record in the interest of time and at this time i would yield time to my colleague mr. blumenauer. >> i heard my colleagues say it's kind of following the path of democrats because the limitation was restricted when we approved the care act. the affordable care act, which we paid for, was the largest expansion and that was a huge benefit for a wide range of americans including the orderly. contrast that with wiping it out altogether not to give more health care to people, but to make active cuts for the most well-off. the inheritance tax is the the difference is telling. millions of health care which you are trying to take away versus wiping out deductio the n and tiger lee for senior citizen. >> i would like to reclaim the remainder of my time. >> i think the gentle lady and i am prepared to close. i would like to close by asking is it guaranteed that those in the states with 11 million w

ms. sanchez, i. >> mr. higgins, yes. chairman brady, no. clerk will report the vote. >> the motion is not agreed you are recognized. i asked her members hold their questions until after his presentation. >> thank you, mr. chairman and members of the committee. you have before you several documents prepared by the staff of the joint committee on taxation. they describe the underlying bev modifications made by the chairman's amendment and the nature of the substitute. you also have his supplemental information, our revenue analysis and distribution analysis. there are many changes in this legislation, and i will try to give an overview of the number of important points. on the individual income tax, hr one would change our system to provide that there be for tax brackets of 12%, 25%, 35% and 39.6% applicable to ordinary income. in general, the tax rates applicable to capital gains and qualified get dividend income would remain unchanged. another significant change is that the legislation would nearly double the standard deduction to be effect
