“I rarely make a prediction of what this House will do, but I see bipartisan support for the rule, and hope we would achieve that. We see some minority members talk about no repeal, some talk about repealing with their plan, and some cosponsors of H.R. 8 as it comes before us. This rule is fair, and the underlying legislation as it comes out for further debate today will allow an opportunity for America to judge that. It is no longer a debate of whether there will or will not be a death tax passed out of here and likely signed into law by the President, but how much and how it plays out, based on versions. That is an important step, because America watched Democratic control with 40 years of big spending, big government. Maybe Mr. Stockman, as quoted by the minority leader, might have spent too much time in the majority-driven Congress of big spending, versus the amount of time seeing the result from 1981 to the year 2000, where we are going to pay down that debt, where we are going to invest in America's future, and we can still give money back to the American people in their pockets, rather than having a big government spender, whether it comes out of Congress or out of the White House, that would drive up spending and taxes for the American people.”
