“I look forward to voting for this compromise. It is a matter of creating jobs and rebuilding the economy. I think the bill does that. Is it a compromise plan I would have written? No. But it does cut taxes for the folks who need tax relief the most--middle-class families, small businesses, family farmers and ranchers. They are the real job creators in this country, and aiming tax relief at them required compromise and working together, and it happened. It is a victory for all Montanans and especially all Americans. This resolution puts all of us on record expressing our deep concerns about the unsustainable path of this country's debt and showing our commitment to working together to dig ourselves out of the ditch we are in. To do that, any plan will have to have tax reform, spending cuts, and deficit reduction.”
