I don't think he backtracked. What he said was, and what we have said continually is, on the revenue side, if you're going to have a balanced package on the revenue side--this is his specific proposal: he's made a number of proposals on…

Reclaiming my time, we had that discussion in terms of specifics. I pointed out to the gentleman last week, and I'll point out to him again today, the President has in his budget 23 pages of cuts, including, very frankly, with respect to…

I absolutely believe that we need to pay for that tax cut over the 10-year plan that we try to come up with to get us to a place that we can agree on being the objective in 2022 or 2023 as to where we want to be as a country in terms of…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Of course, we have this discussion on a regular basis. I'm sure everybody in America looks forward to this discussion. Obviously, when the gentleman talks about small businesses, he is essentially…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. We had originally thought that we would not be meeting on Monday. I want to make it clear to Members that the majority leader has indicated that we will be meeting on Monday and coming in at 6:30, so…

If the gentleman will yield, what I have said is everything needs to be on the table, not that I agreed with everything that would be on the table. I have some very substantial reservations about age increase. Particularly--it was in the…

Well, of course, again, we have a disagreement. And this list--I can't read it either, so you couldn't read it from there.

I thank my friend for yielding. I want to thank the chairman of the Rules Committee for his efforts as well. Ladies and gentlemen of this House, we talked a lot about, correctly, creating certainty, alleviating uncertainty, alleviating…
