Gerald Ford: “Inflation is going down, employment is going up and unemployment is going down, and that is good for America.”

That is a little unfair. I do not think anyone objected to flags being flown and so forth. You make a good point on some of the other things, but that is a little unfair on the flag.

These people making less than $25,000 a year get up and go to work just like you and I do every single day. They pay a payroll tax which is the highest tax paid by 82 percent of Americans. So the other side of the aisle can label us not…

So, Mr. Speaker, so if millionaires took a $65,000 tax cut as opposed to a $103,000 tax cut, we could pay for the student loan program.

I was the sole person who had to make that decision. But, when you look back at the alternatives that I had, it was the right decision. And I have no question that it was the right thing to do then. And I'm more certain today.
