“This is a good bill, and I intend to support it. It is not a perfect bill. There are legitimate criticisms. The rich still get richer. But the fact of the matter is, we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and this is a good bill. It provides tax relief that my constituents in Maryland can use. They can use a child tax credit because they are trying to put young people through college so they can get better jobs. They can certainly use a child tax credit so that they can buy necessities, perhaps fix a car, perhaps buy clothes for a child, perhaps simply buy groceries. This is not going to solve all the problems of the world, but it is an important movement in the right direction. We can remain here and bicker and try to make this a better bill, or we could pass this bill and begin sending child tax relief to needy families, sending education tax credits to people who want to get higher education, and also giving a break to those people who invest in our people through a capital-gains break. It is a balanced bill. It is a good bill. I hope my colleagues will support it.”
