00:00A gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for one minute.
00:03I can tell you exactly what's going on in Louisville, Kentucky right now, Mr. Speaker.
00:07Grocery prices are up and retirement savings are in chaos.
00:11Republicans could put an end to this crisis, but instead they're going to make things worse.
00:15Republicans are about to hand billionaires like Elon Musk $5.3 trillion in tax cuts,
00:21the biggest billionaire tax cut in American history.
00:24And to pay for it, Republicans are cutting health insurance for families,
00:27ripping away food from kids, seniors, veterans, and cutting public education,
00:32all while increasing the national debt by $5 trillion.
00:37And I don't ever want to hear a Republican complain about the debt again,
00:40because no matter how they try to cook the books, and believe me, they are doing that too,
00:44they cannot hide from the negative impact this budget will have.
00:49Seniors will lose health care coverage.
00:51Veterans will lose coverage for the medications they need.
00:53Kids will go hungry.
00:54Veterans will lose coverage for the medications they need.
00:56Kids will go hungry.
00:57And for what?
00:59So Elon Musk pays even less in taxes?
01:02It's reckless, and it's wrong.
01:05I yield back.
