David Price: “the Democratic alternative does have responsible tax relief, targeted…”

On the recordMarch 23, 2000

the Democratic alternative does have responsible tax relief, targeted at the marriage penalty, targeted at the need to get school construction moving in this country, targeted at a number of important priorities. But it is balanced and responsible. That is the key point. It is balanced with the other priorities of shoring up Medicare and Social Security and paying down the national debt. It is that sort of balance that I think is missing in our Republican friends' resolution.
