                            ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL

      (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
    minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
      Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, the budget resolution passed yesterday sets
    the stage for President Trump's one big, beautiful bill.
      This bill is going to deliver dominant energy policy and border
    security, stopping human trafficking and the rampant drug flow that is
    occurring. This bill will continue the tax relief that gave us a great
    and strong economy. It is also providing savings to the American people
    by rooting out waste, abuse, and fraud.
      Despite this, the media and the left want to malign this resolution,
    stating, for instance, that Medicaid is going to be reduced. That is
    absolutely not true. That is a false claim.
      Let me say it from the not-so-cheap seats: No Medicaid or Medicare
    benefits will be reduced.
      The only cuts will be to waste, abuse, fraud, and ineligibility in
    the system if found, which I believe 98 percent of Americans do
    support.
      Look, we are overspending by nearly $2 trillion a year. Clearly, any
    business, any company, any family, any government with such a spending
    problem must make corrections, which is what we are doing and what
    President Trump said he would do upon being elected.
      This resolution will help usher in the golden age in America, and I
    am very happy to be supportive of it.
