Investing in A New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation in America Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment.

And, quite frankly, I am dumbfounded. You are aware that this conversation is in public. So I won't put words in your mouth, but I will use your own words.

You say today you don't want to consolidate wealth amongst the few. What do you think your tax scam did?

This is about workers.

You say you are worried about deficit spending. Hallelujah. Suddenly you are worried about it. You weren't worried about deficit spending when it came to endless wars. You weren't worried about deficit spending when it came to a tax scam.

This conversation is in public. You don't get to go back to your districts now and say you are on the side of workers.

But whose side are you on? Because there is one thing this amendment will do. It will boost corporate profits, it will put money in the hands of billionaires, and it will rip off workers.

So today out in public, you reveal yourselves * * *. We are going to make sure that people remember this.
