Pete Domenici: “I think you ought to--in response to your question, I would suggest that the committee take a good look at the reality…”

I think it is very important, for some of you who have gone through lame duck, to make sure that you know it is not the best choice of an arena to which you would assign the solution of major problems.

I think you raise a good point. We have to be careful about the issue you raised. It is a serious one.

I want each one of you to know I am trying to look you right in the eyes and tell you that, in the U.S. Senate, you happen to be the super committee.

But that is compared to current policy--current policy. If we would compare your plan to current law, it is actually a tax cut.
