“this is all about the Wizard of Oz. What is behind the curtain? They do not want anybody to look. Why? Because what is behind the curtain since President Bush took office is every single hour, and we have been debating this rule for 1 hour, and in that 1 hour, 563 Americans have lost their jobs, and there is nothing in this bill for them. That is obscene. The rule is bad. That is worst. At the same time, we have been borrowing from our children. Every single minute that President Bush has been in office, we have borrowed $585,000. Since this debate has taken place, about 90 minutes, we have borrowed $52 million, and that does not include what we will have to borrow to pay for this tax cut. This tax cut is wrong. It will not help the economy. It is targeted to the wrong group of taxpayers, and it will increase the debt we leave to our children. It is irresponsible, and it is a gimmick to keep the American people from looking behind the curtain. We need to vote ``no'' on this rule, and we need to vote ``no'' on this tax bill.”
