        Curious to hear your thoughts on the deficit acceleration this bill would cause. You don't note that in your statement.

        Between the trickle and the spending cuts, it'll be fine. Don't sweat it. As long as we can pay the interest, the principle doesn't matter.

        What does "revive the Made in America label" mean? Are there specific provisions in this bill that will help bring back well paying manufacturing jobs? Manufacturing jobs have left because of labor costs, not taxes.

        Would you share some specific examples of Main Street biz in NE that will be hiring and increasing wages because of this tax reform?

        Did you just “even” Obama in that statement?

        "important to note that President Obama also argued..." why is that important? That should never be a defense for a policy, good or bad. CURRENTLY elected officials are responsible for current legislation.

        Please explain your flip flop on the deficit. Please explain how making billionaires (including your colleagues in Congress and the President) wealthier is more important than paying for healthcare for working Americans.

        What happened to the postcard simplification? How does this allevaite the "convoluted " tax code? Even Ernie Chambers would appreciate the veracity of your cluelessness!!

        How does this tax reform bill "restore vibrancy in local communities"? What does that mean? Are there provisions that encourage companies to keep jobs in small towns, like Cabela's in Sidney?
