“The smiles and middle-class hype cover up a giant giveaway to special interests. Since most of the tax benefits go to giant corporations, this bill is a testament to the power of limousine lobbyists. It appears to create a new loophole incentivizing the outsourcing of even more American jobs abroad. It does not grow our …

Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, in a written statement.

“At a Veterans Summit at San Antonio College on Saturday, Congressman Lloyd Doggett fielded questions about staffing problems, long wait times, and claims backlogs at the Veterans Administration.
In his remarks to a room full of vets and their families, U.S. Representative Doggett shared an update about the Choice Act.
