Though I strongly support cutting income taxes for all Americans, this bill is saddled with $95 billion in new federal spending that will increase the deficit, and also contains a massive increase in the estate tax that will hurt the families, farmers and small business owners in my district and across America.\"\n\n\"Democrats rejected an amendment I offered in rules committee that would have cut over $149 billion in federal spending to offset the $95 billion in spending in this bill. Congress cannot continue to spend like there is no tomorrow. The out-of-control spending must stop. We cannot allow the compromise to put more debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren. We can, and must, do better.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:13:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://jordan.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-statement-president-obamas-tax-deal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5991309192031622, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
