On the recordMarch 8, 2001
Mr. Speaker, I urge defeat of the previous question. If the previous question is defeated, I will offer an amendment to the rule to require that Congress first adopt the budget resolution for fiscal year 2002 before the House takes up this tax bill. We need a budget first to see if we can afford this level of tax relief and still pay down the debt, reform education, modernize our school buildings and reduce class size. Mr. Speaker, can we afford this trillion dollar tax bill and still give our senior citizens the opportunity not to have to choose between paying for food or paying for their prescription drugs? Can we still shore up Social Security and Medicare and pay down the debt? Mr. Speaker, I urge a no vote on the previous question.
