this is a bill that delivers, and the good news is only in about seven or eight weeks the average american will have an answer to which side is right? is it the left or is it the right? the fact is they will be able to take a look in their own paychecks and determine for themselves the benefits of this tax cut. mr. president, when we think about the things that we should be working on to restore confidence that the average person has lost in the government, to restore that, we do that by making sure that our tax proposal speaks to the average family. so, mr. president, we do double the standard deduction for individuals from $6,300 to $12,000, for single-parent households from $9 .300 -- $9,300 to $1,800. and for two-earner households, we have created a zero percent tax bracket for folks living at the federal poverty level of $2,424,000. by doing that we -- $24,000. by doing that we have created a zero percent tax bracket. but the good news is it gets better. for those folks with children in the house where your child tax credit used to be $1,000, now the child tax credit is $2,000 with 70

this tax reform plan delivers for the average single mother a 70% tax cut. for the average family who's working paycheck to paycheck, looking for ways to be hopeful about their future and have an extra night for dinner out at a restaurant. this tax reform package cuts their taxes by nearly 60%. and because of folks like marco rubio and ivanka, when you think about folks with kids in the household, this plan doubles the child tax credit and makes about 70% of it refundable. this is a plan that we can be proud of. because it speaks to the hearts of everyday americans.

so the average american who 100,000, 200,000, who is already paying in the 30% range, from press reports, you would think maybe republicans would be concerned by the many reports that their bill increases taxes on 60% of middle-class families by the end of the day. nope. instead the holdout republicans are concerned that this bill isn't generous enough to corporations and wealthy business owners. and so now, the republican leadership is working to fix that. in the waning hours this bill is tilting even further towards business, even further away from families. every time that the choice is between big corporations and families, the republicans choose the big corporations. and still, and still no one knows what the final bill will look like. why on earth wouldn't you want to spend more than a few hours looking at a bill of this magnitude? what might have been snuck in? what might have beenwh changed y mistake? innocent mistake? so many reasons not to rush this bill through, but we know why it is being done. we know why republican members will only have a few hours at most to read the draf

the average annual cost per person paid for health care. the u.s. pays more than double the rest of the developed world and doesn't even get results that are as good. okay, but america is the envy of the world when it comes to developing innovative and cutting edge health treatments. cancer survival rates in the united states are higher than in the rest of the world. but overall, we pay more for less. that's the consensus of numerous studies comparing health care around the globe. say what you will, but america's health system is no longer the envy of the world. >> that's the key to remember, because a lot of people kept on saying the reason we don't want to go to universal health coverage is because our health system is the envy of the world. it's not. it's just not. it's really good in a lot of places. in cancer research america does better than everyone else. but if you don't want a public system, if you don't want a medicare for all type system, switzerland is entirely commercial privatized system where the only requirement is that everybody has

the average deduction in wisconsin is $11,653. and nearly $10 billion of wisconsinites' paychecks would be subject to a double tax, all to pay for a plan that favors those at the top. what's more, by the latest elimination -- estimation from our own congressional scorekeeper, this plan will add $1 trillion, $1 trillion to our deficit. breaking our promise to the next generation and sticking them with the bill. our tax code ought to reward hard work more than it rewards wealth. it doesn't do that today and it won't do that tomorrow if this bill passes. in fact, this republican plan's primary purpose is to reward fortune 500 corporations who will simply reward the wealth of shareholders, not the hard work that drives productivity and growth across our economy. the primary promise of this legislation makes the same promise that has not been kept to workers for decades. trickle-down economics has not worked in the past and it's not going to work now. american workers know that, but my colleagues rushing to pass this legislation don't s

but the average taxpayer in every income group gets a tax cut everywhere. i would just tell people go to fair and simple.gop that's the web side that web sit explains how this works. we did make try accommodate people in high tax states. top rate and every rate in between are lowered. lower rates across the board. nuclear two, we double the standard deduction. you can see our postcard. i like to bring this thing up. still nearly nine out of ten people in america will be able to do their taxes on the size of a postcard because they will take that standard deduction. but, also, we maintain a $10,000 tax deduction not just for property taxes, which was the house bill, but also for state and local income taxes. so you get to use that if you choose to do that. and the mortgage interest deduction is still largely maintained. so those things in combination with doubling the child tax credit, lowering rates across the board, make just about every taxpayer whole, the vast, vast, vast majority of taxpayers. is there somebody really wealthy with a good accountant that

very importantly the standard deduction, the standard for the average family, the standard deduction was actually doubled, which is enormously beneficial. the child and the tax carecredit was maintained as part of the bill. the accommodation. steve: a lot of good stuff. >> well, if you look at the things that were cut, it wasn't lobbyists or special interest. the things that were expanded were things like the child tax credit that have such meaningful impact for everyday americans. one of the things that was really so amazing to me traveling across the country was the sense of financial most american families experience. even middle income american families. the average american family can't come up with $400 in the event of an emergency and my father is committed to changing that. this administration is committed to changing that. and what we're doing to encourage growth during deregulation is one of the mechanisms. but tax reform is an enormous vehicle to create the type of growth that will lend itself to prosperity for all americans and this is a historic milestone, historic accom

the average median income went up dramatically. not every person in comb proved but lots of people did. there's a reason he was reelected with 59% of the vote in 18984. there's a reason his vice president was elected. even though the vice president mr. bush was recognized as perhaps a weak candidate and was behind in the poll force much of the race. most of americans at the time felt that on balance ronald reagan has done a good job even if he hadn't done a perfect job. i think that's what we would like to remind people of who perhaps didn't li through those years like you and i did. host: just to last year when president trump was on the campaign trail in michigan after giving his pop list message. >> there is one core question for you to consider. do you want america to be ruled by the corrupt political class? or do you want america to be ruled by you, the people? that's what it is. by the people. the way it was supposed to have been for a long time. we've lost track. and for michigan, we will bring back your automobile production

. 19,000 is the average amount. raight. something that has been speculated upon for a while. indeed. again, absolutely right. a private members bill. the idea is to try and basically bring the law into line for both heterosexual and homosexual couples. very sensible. it should have been done a while ago. the only reason that heterosexual couples couldn't enter into civil partnerships was the argument that 93v partnerships was the argument that gay couples were in civil partnerships because they couldn't get married and of course now they can get married and this is simply a matter of equality so everyone's then can either have a civil partnership or get married. and it's sensible for all those reasons but also it actually makes it a lot easier for cohabiting couples to put things on a much better footing in terms of pension rights and wheels, property. —— terms of pension rights and wheels, property. — — wills terms of pension rights and wheels, property. —— wills to stop people make the mistake that because people h

what our plan does on the individual mandate is good news for the average american. here it is -- here's the good news for every american. they ought to hear it loud and clear. 80% of the folks who are punished by the individual mandate -- 80% of those folks live in a household of less than $50,000 of income, a third of those folks live in a household of less than $25,000. therefore, benefit of our actions is to set folks free from being penalized for doing nothing. mr. wyden: would my colleague continue to yield? just one moment. would my colleague yield for a question? i believe i have the floor. the presiding officer: is there objection to the pending -- mr. wyden: reserving the right to object. the presiding officer: is there objection to the request? mr. wyden: it's my intention, mr. president, to come back every 30 minutes until we get an answer to the question. i just asked my colleague from south carolina was there a hearing on the sweeping changes that were -- that are being proposed in this bill, the affordable care act. i ask him for a date. he said nothing

given this treatment by the average soviet citizen, the regime has largely succeeded in portraying the dissidents as disloyal and fully deserving imprisonment and exile. the regime often compels any defector who returns to the soviet union to publicly denounce his or her decision to leave and to denigrate the west as an undesirable place to live. the return of stalin's daughter is a good example. the regime glorifies the kgb and border guards, picturing them as heroes who protect the country from foreign subversion. such propaganda is intended not only as indoctrination but also as intimidation to remind the people that the state is fully capable of repressing those who step out of line. in sum, soviet citizens do not buy all that the official media tell them. their daily experiences demonstrate to them the falsity of much soviet propaganda. even when it is not believed, however, propaganda is a powerful instrument of manipulation for the regime. it defines the limits of permissible discussion and sets parameters on what is considered legitimate and what will not be tolerated. >>> amer

the last 150 years. which have hovered at an average rate between 1.8% and 2% growth per year. don't take our word for it. studies by moody's and tpc all found that the congressional tax plans will increase u.s. debt between $1.3 trillion and $2.1 trillion over a decade. even the consecutive tax foundation, which is in favor of the gop plans, estimates between $500 billion and $1 trillion of additional debt. to a tee, they all say slashes taxes now while keeping government spending at current levels will widen a hole in the current budget. don't believe them? a poll of 42 leading economists found not a single one thinks this tax plan will pay for itself. tax cuts, any cut, sound great, but if we're going to bust the bank to enact them, we should be honest about what they're going to cost us. now, gold man has come out with its assessment of the senate version of the tax cut, with respect to gdp growth. basically, it says it'll have a bit of a bump from the long-term trend in the 2% range, and then it reverts back to the trend, possibly even having a bit of a negative impact on g
