“I am pleased to see the chairman of the Budget Committee in the Chamber talking boldly and responsibly about getting this economy back on its feet and getting it moving. It is critically important that this Senate operate in the legal fashion that it was by law directed to do. I know what the chairman will do is produce a budget and a budget reconciliation process that will allow this Senate to be guided and directed not only in its expenditures but hopefully in providing for this country--and to the producer side of our country the type of incentives that the President has offered in a very bold move to get this economy moving again. It is pleasing for me to see a President stand forth in a rather 'Reaganesque' way and say let us grow ourselves out of this problem. Let us not dig ourselves deeper into a hole or a cave that ultimately will create a greater problem. How you do that is you create incentives for the worker and you create incentives for the investor to get out and create new jobs and to move the economy.”
