                 GOP TAX SCAM HURTS WOMEN AND FAMILIES

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, in just a few hours, the Rules Committee 
will be making the final touches to America's worst budget ever. They 
are doing it in the middle of the night to hide the fact that this bill 
will make Americans sicker and poorer.
  Take SNAP, the most effective antipoverty tool we have. This bill is 
the deepest cut to food assistance in history, making it harder to put 
food on the table for seniors, families, and veterans, including 74,000 
people in my district.
  Vivian, in New Rochelle, said: I have been delivering food to seniors 
and people in need since 2009. I do this every day because I know what 
it is like to be in need myself. I had to stop working when I was 
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and now I rely on SNAP, and it is 
still not enough. If those benefits are cut, it would be devastating.
  Republicans are taking food assistance and healthcare away from those 
who need it the most to give tax breaks to those who need them the 
least.
  Try to spin it any way you want. Everyday Americans will suffer.
