                THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FACE A CLEAR CHOICE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Jeffries) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, the American people face a clear choice 
about the way forward: the Republican raw deal or the Democratic better 
deal.
  House Republicans want to take away healthcare from more than 23 
million Americans--raw deal; Democrats want to strengthen the 
Affordable Care Act and dramatically lower the cost of prescription 
drugs--better deal.
  House Republicans have a fake infrastructure plan that will do 
nothing to repair our Nation's crumbling bridges, roads, and tunnels--
raw deal; Democrats have a real infrastructure plan that would invest 
$1 trillion and create 16 million good-paying jobs--better deal.
  House Republicans passed a tax scam where 83 percent of the benefits 
went to the wealthiest 1 percent in America simply to subsidize the 
lifestyles of the rich and shameless--raw deal; Democrats want a 
permanent tax cut for working families so we can put more money into 
the pockets of everyday Americans--better deal.
  House Republicans want to cut more than $2 trillion from Social 
Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--raw deal; Democrats want to 
strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid so that senior 
citizens from throughout the land can live out their golden years with 
grace and dignity. That is A Better Deal.
  House Republicans are all about chaos, crisis, and confusion; 
Democrats are working to deliver better jobs, better wages, and a 
better future.
  The American people deserve A Better Deal.
