I just refer him to CBO's report in which it concludes that the tax cuts are the largest legislative contributor to the negative debt that we have right now. I mean, so it runs contrary to what the gentleman is saying. All we are…

I do not know about everyone, but I know that a number of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, the fact that H.R. 4520 allows taxpayers, especially those in Nevada, Wyoming, the State of Washington, South Dakota, Texas, Alaska, and…

I took a look at that 12-inch set of legislation, and I just want to alert my colleagues... we have been resolute in our commitment to small business, to farmers, to manufacturers and just plain old tax simplification.

Just as I listened carefully, I thought I understood that the Republicans since being in the control of the majority have brought about a third of the country's debt in policy decisions. I guess that would mean two-thirds of the debt would…

I said the extension of the family tax relief is already provided for in the House-passed budget resolution. That resolution would cut the deficit in half over 5 years without raising taxes. I believe that the previous speaker on the…

Mr. Speaker, Benjamin Franklin once noted in this world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes. But while death may be certain, taxes are immortal. That is because our current tax system plays a cruel joke on farmers and…

I just want to go back and make sure we do not miss anything on the death tax inhibiting economic growth because I have listened to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle talk about creating jobs. The threat of a resurrected death tax…

I am just encouraged to see in the 107th Congress, three votes that occurred on the death tax. I saw from 41 to 58 Democratic votes along with Republicans and it reassures me that we are on the path of a bipartisan tax cut to end the death…

I reminded my colleagues that I come from kind of a small town in upstate New York... I think that is real tax relief. I do not think $40,000 is rich.

Mr. Speaker, when I return to my district each week, my constituents tell me they want me to do two things: create jobs and cut taxes. Thanks to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Act and the Jobs Growth Tax Relief Act, Congress is doing…

I want at least the voters of my district and the people of New York to know that while we have listened to class warfare and tax cuts, I know those New Yorkers that make $100,000 in their income, or even as much as $150,000, if you are a…

I believed when I voted for a $726 billion tax decrease, for tax cuts, that we would have moved our economy even faster. I believed it when I did $550 billion. I am supporting $350 billion with the other things we are doing today for an…

We are going to pay for it by giving it back to the American people. Will there be deficits? There are deficits.

I stated a number of facts of how many millions of Americans benefit from this plan. One is: Keep and create jobs. That is what this bill does. The other is: Tax cut now. That is what we are going to have the opportunity to vote on. There…

I also saw a poll that says that the American people want a tax cut. And, quite frankly, as the President traveled the country in the week that we were on recess, he raised the polling numbers for that tax cut by 10 percent.

I have been reading the minority's press clips since I have been here, and to them it seems to be the biggest deal for mankind what the recommit motion is and how that vote occurred here. So I am confused the gentleman's suggestion today…

I hope my colleagues have had the opportunity to read the heart-wrenching testimony presented by Leanne Dyess earlier this month before the Committee on the Judiciary. I hope their compassion will allow them to consider how it would feel…

Two Stanford University economists have conducted two extensive studies using national data on Medicare populations and concluded that patients from States that adopted direct medical care litigation reforms, and I will say that again for…

Mr. Speaker, I just disagree with my friend, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Stupak). One cannot argue with the facts that in California the premiums in the last 27 years have gone up 167 percent. The rest of the country is 500 percent…

But for those 21 Democratic votes or for others who may consider future votes on trade, this is going to end up with a bottom-line deal here. The bottom line is you either support free trade and give the House the ability to go as a…

I have listened to whether this has constitutional questions. This bill is riddled with constitutional questions. Even the sponsors have said some of it will be thrown out by the courts. But I do know this: Without this amendment the…

The Shays-Meehan bill would provide $30 million to both parties at the State and local level. I do not exactly know what the Ney-Wynn bill would provide in those dollars. But I can say that the Shays-Meehan bill empowers special interests…

I would have to get an expert on that; but I can say that under the Shays-Meehan bill, which the gentleman supports, it could be $30 million to both parties with the State and locals.

Mr. Speaker, we are going to bring out that same old thing and beat that dog on Social Security. As I said earlier, the Republicans extended it, and they are going to take care of it. I also remind my colleagues on the lock box and both…

Mr. Speaker, first of all, the Republican Party in this Congress extended the life of Social Security; and the same leadership will ensure that we preserve and strengthen it. I share with my colleague who is under some fallacy that there…
