“Mr. Speaker, I have a copy of that Joint Committee on Taxation report and it says, yes, that there is zero under the Democratic plan. If the Republicans have no budget, if the Republicans do nothing for Social Security, if the Republicans do nothing to pay down the national debt, then there will be absolutely nothing under our plan. We are assuming at some point that the Republicans will work with the President and work with us and do those things and then relief is there. It is as simple as that. The report is available. It is called the Joint Committee on Taxation. None of the people in the district of the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Weller) will get any benefit from the Republican or the Democratic plan until we come together and work together.”
