“I certainly again welcome my friend from Ohio to this Chamber. I appreciate honest, honest differences of opinion. But to somehow say that a head of household earning $10,000 a year who can receive in the mail a $4,000 check, to somehow denigrate that by claiming there is going to be an audit and somehow make the case that this is a strange Robin Hood in reverse when historical accuracy compels me to point out, the reason Robin Hood went to work in the first place was because the sheriff of Nottingham overtaxed the people, that is often left out of the story, and to hear this does nothing to the debate at hand and, that is, true compassion does not mean reduce this per-child tax credit after the next election. True compassion does not mean ignore what goes on or denigrate it because of the threat of audit. Effective, comprehensive, commonsense policy demands that we move forward with this per-child credit as passed in the House and that we reject the Senate-passed bill and that we reject this motion to instruct.”
