Political Quotes

“I stand in support of this commonsense, balanced package of tax relief that will pass this house with bipartisan support today. If we think about it, if we look at the big picture, this does make a lot of common sense. We have, thanks to the fiscal responsibility of this Congress, and particularly this House, we have a projected surplus over the next decade of $5.6 trillion, a tax surplus of extra money. This package takes less than one-fourth of that tax surplus and uses it to help the average family in America, a $1.3 trillion tax cut. Our friends in the news media will of course try to determine who the winners are here. Clearly, the biggest winner is the taxpayer. The winners in this room are also those Republicans and Democrats who have worked together to provide tax relief for working families. I particularly want to commend my Democratic friends, those on the other side of the aisle, who set aside partisanship to work together with the President and with the Republicans to help families by lowering taxes.”
