rather than bicker over raising taxes on some people and lowering taxes on other people, we should cut everyone's taxes to make sure we get a middle-class tax cut across the board. The best way to do that is to give the tax committee a mandate that is larger, a mandate for a bigger tax cut. My amendment provides budget reconciliation instructions to increase the tax cut to $2.5 trillion. If we were to believe this budget, it claims to save over $6 trillion over 10 years--more than enough to go bigger, better, and bolder on cutting taxes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
