“This is a historic process, I believe, in two very different ways. It is a historic process in the substance of what we are doing, reforming entitlements, saving a trillion, $100 billion, over the next 10 years, reducing taxes for the first time in 16 years with a $250 billion tax cut over the next 10 years, creating more opportunities for job creation and for small business so that as welfare reform goes into effect people can leave welfare and find work, because if we do not have work, we cannot reform welfare. So, these are steps that are exactly right. All these things are important, and the substance of what we are doing is important, and people will look back on this as, I think, a historic vote. But there is something equally important happening, which is the process, and that is why I wanted to come to the floor to close this debate. Mr. Chairman, we live under an unusual constitutional system. The Founding Fathers were afraid of dictatorship.”
