“There is bipartisan, bicameral, universal support for a marriage penalty tax deduction or tax decrease. The President has it in his budget, the Democrats have it in their recommittal substitute that we will see tomorrow, the Republicans have it. Truly this debate that we are having here today, and that we will have tomorrow, is not about a marriage penalty. Everyone agrees, everyone has a plan. We will talk about the differences in the plans, but everyone agrees that there needs to be a correction. It was an unintentional glitch in a tax law that happened several or many years ago. So I think that the true debate is about how do we go about it?”
