On the recordDecember 3, 2010
I am here, like so many of my colleagues today, to talk about the situation in which we find ourselves, where millions of American families and small businesses, on January 1, are going to see a tax increase because the Bush tax cuts are set to expire. [...] I appreciate the frustration that is there because this recession has gone on way too long and been way too deep, and too many people have suffered. But the efforts of this Congress, through the American Recovery Act to try to stimulate our economy and keep people working has been successful.
