I want to recognize the exemplary comments we just heard from the chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator Grassley. That is one of the most complete discussions I have heard on the President's tax policy and how it impacts our total debt goals, actually what we call paying down the public debt and what we are going to do to save Medicare. Anybody who listened closely fully understands the balance of the President's plan before us. I thought it was an extremely good speech, and I enjoyed listening to what he had to say. I want to bring a little more discussion to some of the points he made. For example, he talked about the advantage of small business. As a small businessman, I want to talk about some of my thoughts about how cutting taxes really does help the economy. Senator Grassley talked about paying down the debt. I also want to take some time to talk about my experience in the Congress in efforts to pay down the debt and add my two bits' worth as to why I think the President is on the right track.
