“First, I want to talk about tax relief. As we learned last night from the State of the Union--and the Budget Committee hearing in the Senate has recently indicated--not only did last year mark the first time since 1969 that we ran a budget surplus, but it now appears as if we will run budget surpluses for the next 25 years, and potentially beyond.

In fact, it may be as much as multitrillion dollars of surplus over the next 10, 20, 25 years and beyond.”
