On the recordMarch 18, 2003

We are now on my second amendment, an amendment that takes $1.2 trillion of the proposed tax cut and uses it to strengthen Social Security. It is absolutely correct that the other amendment I have offered would create a requirement to a supermajority vote to have new spending initiatives, as well as new tax cuts, other than spending for national defense and homeland security and other than for tax cuts that would provide for an immediate lift to the economy.
