                        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.
