On the recordMay 9, 2001
I want to start by saying: If not now, when? If not now, when will the American taxpayer get back some of the surplus that their taxes have generated? How big must the surplus be, Madam President, and fellow Senators, before we give the taxpayers some of their money back? How big should it be? It is $5.6 trillion. That means getting that much money more than we need for the policies of our Government. Should it be $10 trillion before we give them back any money? Should it be $20 trillion before we give them back some? Absolutely not.
