“I believe that the gentleman is correct in that we are going to move in that direction. I think we are going to find lots of ways to kind of creatively get out of the bureaucratic entanglement that so many of our communities have gotten into, and so many of these I would say disappointments which the government has caused to local economies and people and so forth. The gentleman had mentioned some of the savings to the middle class through college education opportunities and so forth. One of the very practical and I hope immediate measures is this $500 per child tax credit that is in the budget. It is something that American middle-class families need. We talk so often about let us do something for the children. Why do we not just let the parents keep more of the money that they are earning and let them do that for the children? If you have a family of two, that is $1,000 a year that you can spend for groceries, for clothes, for textbooks, for whatever your child's needs are. That is something for the American middle class that is overdue to them.”
