“here we go again, another round of voodoo economics and another huge tax cut for the rich. I encourage my colleagues to consider the terrible situation in my home State of Florida, where massive tax breaks for the rich have come at the expense of much needed services for the poor. Yesterday, Florida Governor Bush called for even more tax breaks for the rich while continuing to neglect some of the most pressing issues facing Florida residents. The Bush tax cuts are like the Reagan cuts that devastated our economy with huge debts, skyrocketing unemployment and high interest rates. We have been down that road before and it took us 20 years to crawl out of that mess. I would like to remind my Republican colleagues that the American people did not support the Bush plan. We would not be in this mess if the coup had not taken place in Florida. There is no mandate for the Bush plan. He did not win the election. And the majority of the people did not vote for this irresponsible action of this Congress.”
