On the recordMarch 22, 2000
If my colleague would allow me to interrupt for a moment, he referred to the energy costs and tax cuts. I had a very interesting experience just this last week. I visited a small trucking company, and the founder of the trucking company pulled me to one side. He is an older gentleman. And he said, I always want tax cuts. I always want tax relief. We are going to have a bad year or two here with these high fuel costs. But he said I want you to go back to Washington and pay down on the debt. And I must say that that made a deep impression on me, because he shared his priorities. He said, I vote Republican almost every reelection, but this is what I think is right for the Nation.
