At this time, I yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sam Johnson), a distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee.

I am just amazed by the other side's doing time travel 4 years into the future when a lot of hardworking families are struggling every day--right now--to deal with this economy, and that needs to be the focus of this debate. I yield such…

I am just puzzled by this logic that the minority is concerned about a provision that expires in 4 years. They are worried about that today, but yet they are not worried about the loss of buying power for hardworking American families…

I have no further speakers, and will be prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.

One goal of tax policy is to strengthen the economy so that there are more jobs and bigger paychecks for American families. Today, we have an opportunity to put more money in the pockets of hardworking families. This commonsense bill…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership on this very important issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill to make 50 percent bonus depreciation permanent because it grows the economy and creates jobs. Short…
