                       REAL BIPARTISAN TAX REFORM

  (Mr. KILDEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, this week, House Republicans are rushing 
through yet another tax bill that gives the superwealthy and the well-
connected a big tax break at the expense of working families in my 
district.
  The first Republican tax bill already cost $2 trillion, exploding our 
national deficit and setting up huge cuts for Medicare, Medicaid, and 
Social Security.
  The overwhelming number of Americans do not support these massive 
handouts to the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations. They 
have already funneled these corporations almost $1 trillion in stock 
buybacks to shareholders--money that is not going to workers.
  This week, House Republicans are just doubling down on this deeply 
unpopular and dangerous tax scam. This latest bill has Republicans 
scheming to make tax breaks for billionaires permanent, handing tens of 
billions of dollars to the wealthiest 1 percent. This latest bill will 
add to our national deficit.
  Mr. Speaker, Democrats support real bipartisan tax reform that would 
give relief to working American families.
