I would just say that the previous speaker, the gentleman from Wisconsin, has voted five times to extend the research and development tax credit--for 12\1/2\ years--with not a nickel of it paid for, to use his words. Let me just say that our friends in the Senate are advancing an ``unpaid-for'' extension of all of the extenders to the tune of $85 billion. I just think, to follow their line of logic, they would say we need to raise taxes to keep taxes the same. That makes no sense. We haven't done it for almost 30 years, and we shouldn't do it now. I reserve the balance of my time.
