Frank Pallone: “I wanted to say quickly to the gentleman, and I think we all realize…”

On the recordJuly 9, 1997

I wanted to say quickly to the gentleman, and I think we all realize that we are not in the business of redistributing wealth, the bottom line is the economy is really good. Wealthy people, wealthy corporations are benefiting from it. You mentioned the stock market. We read these statistics every day. All we are really saying is, this was the promise that was made when this balanced budget agreement was signed, is that we only have a limited pot of money. This tax relief should go primarily to working families. That is where the Republicans have broken the deal on this balanced budget agreement. It is just not fair.
