                      BETTER DEAL VERSUS RAW DEAL

  (Mr. CICILLINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, almost 2 years ago, Presidential 
candidate Donald Trump said: ``We are going to win so much, you are 
going to get tired of winning.''
  It has been 16 months since Republicans took control of the White 
House and Congress, and the only people who are winning are the wealthy 
and well connected. The rest of America is getting a raw deal.
  The Republicans have failed to make healthcare more affordable. They 
have failed to invest in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. They 
failed to lower the cost of living for working families, and they 
failed to drain the swamp. The rigged system that they promised to tear 
down is now bigger and stronger than ever before. The wealthy and well 
connected are making out like bandits while working people are asked to 
sacrifice more and more each day.
  It doesn't have to be this way. Democrats are offering a better deal: 
a better deal to deliver better jobs, better wages for a better future; 
a better deal to raise incomes, lower the cost of living, and make sure 
the economy works for all Americans, not just those at the very top.
  Let's give the American people a better deal than the raw deal they 
are getting from the Republicans.
