the Republican tax fairness and deficit reduction proposal cuts taxes for everyone; individuals, families, and senior citizens. Most importantly, the proposal provides relief for working families. Since 1988, the working family has had their median income plunge approximately $2,500 while receiving a 2.5-percent increase in taxes. Over 75 percent of our tax relief proposal will focus on restoring fairness to the middle class. The remaining 25 percent will go directly to deficit reduction. The cuts are designed to lend a helping hand to the middle-class working family, the $500 per child family tax credit, the tax credit for adoption expenses, and the tax credit for small businesses. Republicans are committed to reducing the burden of government on the working families.

I have said many times that I just do not see how this country can continue to do what is necessary to maintain a strong military, unless there is some debate in the Congress about a war tax, because I don't know where the money is going…
It is a sad day for America when that is happening. It is a sad day for the military.
Many of us in the Congress are very concerned about the continued spending of billions and billions and billions of dollars and not being able to show the taxpayer--how they are benefiting.
I want to talk about the graveyard of empires. I think that is what they say about Afghanistan and the history of Afghanistan.
