That objection, the general from California is recognized for one minute.
00:03
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Under the economic policies of Donald Trump and Republicans,
00:09
America is now in decline. For the first time in three years, we have negative GDP growth.
00:16
That means our economy actually shrank this year. It takes a special kind of stupid to take 12
00:24
consecutive quarters of positive economic growth and make it go negative. And we also know overall
00:30
inflation has also increased. And Trump and Republicans want to make it worse. They want
00:36
to pass the big, ugly bill that's going to cut off health care for over 16 million Americans,
00:41
all in service of massive tax breaks to billionaires. Tell them to take their heads out of the sand
00:47
and to stop harming the American people. Trump and Republicans should be working for you,
00:52
