“If I can ask one more question--I know the Senator from Arizona wishes to speak--aside from the lucky 7,000 club the Senator from Arizona is taking care of, the wealthiest people in America-- nothing but good luck, they have lived comfortable lives in a great democratic, free nation with the protection of our laws, and now, as they leave and go to perhaps a better place, they want to make sure they do not pay back to this Nation, aside from the lucky 7,000 club. I wish to ask the Senator from North Dakota, I have heard this concept, talking about pay as you go, that the Democrats, when they came to control the Congress, would pay for any tax cuts or any spending increases so it would not add to the national debt. So I wish to ask the Senator from North Dakota, I know he believes in it very passionately: Is this a pay-as-you-go proposal from the Republican side so that there is no net loss to future generations? Is this being taken care of by the Senator from Arizona offsetting it, for example, with an increase in taxes on maybe working people of this country or some other group or cutting spending in some other area?”
