Mr. Speaker, just a couple of additional comments, and I want to thank the gentleman from North Dakota for his perspective. And just for those of my colleagues who have budget concerns, as has already been mentioned, this bill fits into the budget. It is also the best investment this country could make, building strong families; and just the reduction in foster care alone more than offset this tax bill. If I could say a word about the colleague who interrupted our celebration with some political comments about my sales tax, I would assure all my colleagues, so there will not be any concern, that I have never in this body supported anything that increased taxes or costs on the American people and do not intend to and would never support the type of legislation that was just described here. So I do not want there to be concern on the other side, because I cut taxes; I do not raise them.
