“And certainly we saw tonight part of his legislative domain because when one does not have the facts on his side, it is important to argue atmospherics. And we all heard about the genuine intent of the Republican Party and all of these interesting perceptions out there that I guess, from the school of politics, perceptions outweigh reality. But then again, Mr. Speaker, it is my assertion that we owe the American people the facts. And the fact is, what this House passed is much more comprehensive, what our Democrat friends offer is much more restrictive. We have heard no refutation of this fact, and it is as follows: The Democrat motion to instruct allows the child credit to drop from $1,000 to $700 immediately following the 2004 election. That is a curious alleged improvement in the bill. The Democrat motion to instruct does not eliminate the marriage penalty in the child credit until 2010, and even then it only does so for 1 year. We have heard no refutation of that.”
