“that is if you did the full funding. This is a compromise that has been worked out which is a lesser amount of money, recognizing the significant amounts that are available. Be that as it may, we are talking over 10 years. The last tax cut for people earning more than $200,000 a year was over $1.2 trillion. So it is a question of where the rubber meets the road. You have veterans over here who served their country who have a need for health care, and you have a lot of wealthy Americans over here who don't particularly have a need for a new tax cut. This is a place for choices. All we are asking is for a choice to be made.”
