 WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING CARE OF BILLIONAIRES, WHO IS TAKING CARE 
                            OF OUR CHILDREN?

  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, there are other ways to take care of our 
children as well as gun control. The Republicans have tried for the 
past month to sell their $792 billion tax package to the American 
people, but American people are smarter than that. They know that the 
Republican tax plan is designed mainly to take care of billionaires. 
What American people want to know is: Who is taking care of our 
children?
  They also know that our Republican colleagues are not taking care of 
our children. Our children do not need tax breaks for the wealthiest 1 
percent of Americans, they do not need corporate tax breaks. Our 
children need the surplus invested in their future by protecting 
Medicare, Social Security, and paying down our national debt. They also 
need gun control for their safety.
  So I ask my Republican colleagues, while they are taking care of 
billionaires, who is taking care of our children?
