“House Concurrent Resolution 84 will never become a household phrase, does not fall trippingly off the tongue, but that is the resolution that passed early this morning, about 3:30 this morning, by a 333 vote to 99 margin. This is a plan that will balance our Federal budget. It is going to restore economic freedom and opportunities for all Americans. To sum up what we have talked about, this agreement saves and protects Medicare for the next decade which insures that older Americans will continue to have access to quality health care. Family farms and family businesses will finally have relief from the very punitive Federal inheritance tax. The forthcoming budget also calls for a reduction on the tax and savings and investment, otherwise known as capital gains which will create additional economic growth as we have discussed. There will be education initiatives for families who are wanting to put kids through school, additional funds available for Pell grants and moneys, much needed moneys, some $9 billion more for roads, for bridges and for infrastructure. Those are additional moneys, $8 billion over and above what the administration requested. This is a win-win budget.”
