                  THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF 114TH CONGRESS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TED LIEU

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

  Mr. TED LIEU of California. Mr. Speaker, unleashing the full 
potential of America means fully investing in the American people.
  Unfortunately, the Republican plan for our country is to slash 
investments in education, transportation and manufacturing.
  Rather than help the middle class, the Republican budget hurts 
ordinary Americans by giving a top 1% tax cut to the ultra-rich, which 
means the typical American family will end up paying more.
  In contrast, the Democratic plan for our country invests in the 
quintessential American propositions of a good education, better 
infrastructure, and bigger paychecks.
  For 100 Days, the majority party has engaged in special interest 
giveaways and shutdown brinksmanship.
  Over the next 100 days, and every day after that, I will continue to 
stand--along with my fellow Democrats--for something else entirely:
  A nation defined--a nation driven--by full investment in the 
imagination and industry of each and every American family.
  I want to see Made in America, again.
