                 GOP TAX SCAM HURTS WOMEN AND FAMILIES

  (Mr. SORENSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise with my colleagues today to call 
out the House GOP's big billionaire bailout at the expense of my 
neighbors back home in Illinois-17.
  Their bill would take away food from hungry families and kick people 
off their health insurance, all so the richest people who walk the face 
of the Earth get a bigger tax break.
  The other side claims to be fiscally responsible, but they are 
blowing a $5 trillion hole in our national debt to do it.
  What am I supposed to say to Mary Anne from Morrison, Illinois, who 
says she can't feed her kids without SNAP, or a veteran like Mike, who 
stopped in for his one meal a day at the veteran drop-in center in 
Rockford?
  Republicans in committee voted unanimously against our amendment that 
would protect veterans from cuts.
  They are saying this is about waste, fraud, and abuse? Give me a 
break. This bill is a disaster for anyone who is struggling to make 
ends meet, and it will be a disaster for our country, all so the filthy 
rich get richer. Vote ``no.''
