Dem Rep. Doggett: ‘The Senate Accomplished a Near Impossible Task, They Took an Ugly Bill and They Made It Even Uglier’

EXCERPT:

DOGGETT: “Well, I think the Senate accomplished a near impossible task. They took an ugly bill, and they made it even uglier. So I'm concerned about the 17 million Americans who lose their access to a family physician, the 17 percent increase in energy costs that we will have, and the largest cut in food assistance, as well as the fact that after they do all that, they leave us with trillions of dollars of new debt. These little flourishes that were added, like no tax on tips, are issues that are designed to cover the horrible job that they're doing. And I think you need look no further than the comments of some of the Republican senators. Senator Tillis calling it a betrayal by Donald Trump. Lisa Murkowski saying that this bill's not ready for primetime and the House should make more changes in it. And of course, their buddy Elon Musk condemning it as the largest increase in our nation's debt in history.”
