One, giving benefits, the biggest benefits to the wealthy.

Households with income in the top 5% who have incomes over $320,000 would receive roughly half of the benefits.

So millionaires above that, billionaires, all together, they would receive roughly half of the benefits.

ballooning the deficit, along with the 2021 and 2023 tax cuts enacted under President Bush, the 2017 law, excuse me, along with the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts enacted under President Bush, the 2017 law has severely eroded our nation's revenue base.

The House budget would compound the damage, adding hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit each and every year.

Extending the 2017 tax cuts would cost $3.6 trillion through 2034.

Failing to significantly boost economic growth, workers' earnings and other benefits would not be seen.

The trickle-down benefits that proponents claimed in the 2017 law that they said it would produce never materialized.

And the law hasn't come close to paying for itself, as I heard on the Senate floor from my colleagues.

Congress should work towards creating a fairer federal tax system that raises more revenue from wealthy people and corporations and supports high-value investments, high-value investments that expand opportunity and promote more shared prosperity.

During the 2017 debate, Trump administration officials and prominent proponents claimed the tax law would yield broadly shared benefits by boosting economic growth.

President Trump's Council of Economic Advisers claimed the centerpiece corporate tax rate cut would very conservatively lead to a $4,000 boost in household income.

But the research to date has failed.

So here's the ghost.

He's reading off.

We felt that we're living the American dream until one day in 2012.
