perhaps instead of the rhetoric that the gentleman from Iowa ought to check is the rhetoric that refuses to ever consider scaling back the size of the sacred cow tax cut to meet the honest obligations that this government has to those men and women that he invoked just a minute ago. The reality is there will be at least one supplemental on this floor; the reality is it is not accounted for in the underlying resolution; and the reality is that, as far as I can see from their past behavior, the majority would not even consider scaling back the size or scope of the tax cut in order to finance that supplemental. Now, I would be thrilled to hear the chairman correct any of those three assumptions, but I assume that they are accurate. Or, Mr. Chairman, I would yield to you. Are any of my three assumptions inaccurate?
