00:00
Mr. Speaker and thank you, Madam Chairwoman. I rise today in strong support of the rule to
00:05
consider H.R.1, the one big beautiful bill, because the stakes for the American people
00:10
could not be higher. We are rapidly approaching a fiscal cliff. If we do nothing, the Trump tax
00:16
cuts, the most pro-growth tax reforms in generations will expire. That means higher taxes on nearly
00:23
every American. That means a gutted child tax credit. That means small businesses losing the
00:29
tools they need to survive and to thrive. That means less take-home pay for working families
00:34
already that have been crushed by the Biden-era inflation. This isn't some hypothetical scenario.
00:40
This is the Democrats' game plan. They want to raise taxes. They want to punish success.
00:46
They want more people dependent on government and fewer people building independent lives.
00:52
And Republicans will not let that happen. With H.R.1, we're stepping to lock in the
00:59
Trump tax cuts permanently and to provide targeted new relief to the workers and to the families
01:04
who keep this country running. Seniors, tipped workers, and those putting in overtime to get
01:10
ahead. But Mr. Speaker, this bill also takes a critical step to protect and to strengthen
01:16
Medicaid, a vital program for millions of Americans. And let me be very clear about something that
01:22
we're, this isn't anything radical. We're restoring the same common sense work requirements
01:27
that President Bill Clinton signed into law into the nineties, one of the most popular
01:31
things he did. And back then, a Democratic president worked with a Republican Congress
01:36
to say that if you're able-bodied and adult without dependents and you're receiving government
01:40
assistance, you should be expected to work, train, or volunteer and participate in the economy.
01:46
And ladies and gentlemen, it worked. Poverty dropped, employment rose, and millions of Americans
01:51
moved from welfare to work and independence. But Democrats today have abandoned that model.
01:57
They want permanent government dependency. They'll oppose any form of accountability.
02:01
And they'll vilify anyone who dares to suggest that opportunity should come with responsibility.
02:07
Well, Republicans are standing up for what works and what's right. And we're saying Medicaid must
02:12
remain a lifeline for the truly vulnerable, children, seniors, the people with disabilities,
02:18
and low-income parents. But for able-bodied adults without kids, yes, you should try to work,
02:23
just like in the nineties, just like under President Bill Clinton. This isn't extreme.
02:28
It's not partisan. It's proven policy that respects both taxpayers and lifts people up.
02:34
Mr. Speaker, this bill delivers economic relief, fiscal sanity, and basic fairness. And it secures
02:40
the future of our economy and our safety net. Let's choose the path that's been tested and proven
02:46
to work. Let's approve this rule. Let's pass one big, beautiful bill. And let's get this
02:50
country back on track. I yield back, Mr. Speaker.
