Mike Lawler: 我目前正在努力推动参议院通过的税收和支出法案，并与白宫就医疗补助问题进行了讨论。我认为这项法案对我的选区和全国都很重要。我一直在与白宫讨论医疗补助，特别是农村卫生基金，以及如何利用它来支持我的选区和全国的医院。总统希望通过这项法案，因为它是有史以来最大的减税法案。如果不能通过这项法案，将会导致美国历史上最大的增税，对经济来说将是一场灾难。这项法案为全国，特别是纽约的辛勤工作的中产阶级家庭提供了大规模的减税，并加强了边境安全，增加了国内能源生产，加强了军队，并真正开始控制支出。未来10年，支出将减少1.6万亿美元，经济增长率将达到2%、3%甚至4%，这将对经济增长和朝着正确的方向发展至关重要。减少赤字和控制债务是一个巨大的挑战，需要两党在未来十年共同努力。当人们真正获得减税时，这项法案将在工人阶级和中产阶级中非常受欢迎，他们将从该法案的条款中受益匪浅，例如老年人将获得更高的收入税收减免，并且不必为他们的社会保障金纳税。这对全国的美国人来说至关重要。
