On the recordJanuary 30, 1996
Is it not then the case, keeping in mind what the gentlewoman from Connecticut just outlined, that fundamentally what they are trying to do with the debt limit hike here is attach their tax cut for the wealthy and tax credits with respect to child care, if that is what they have in mind, which does not address either the short-term or the long-term needs with respect to child care, and if anything, is just the down payment on more indebtedness? So if we are to deal with the debt limit hike in and of itself, that is one thing, but if we are to deal with these other issues and attach it to it, is it not the gentleman's position, as it certainly is mine, that any attempt to attach a phony tax credit bill or some kind of tax giveaway is inimical to solving the debt limit problem, and in fact, will work against the best interests of the United States?
