“Mr. Speaker, this morning we are hearing again a very interesting debate. The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin), who worked in a bipartisan way for meaningful pension reform and relief, now abandons the larger measure. The gentleman from California (Mr. Matsui) speaks of speculation. Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that when I was in the private sector and I watched Washington spend more and more and more and more of the people's money, including Social Security funds, it was interesting how those forecasts and estimations never seemed to make a difference in the minds of the previous majority. I heard the gentleman from California (Mr. Stark), reduced to reading a statement from someone in the other body that had nothing to do with the tax relief today; and I heard the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt), the minority leader, speak of a Saturday Night Live sketch. Perhaps he was thinking about the fictional character of Tommy Finnagan as portrayed by Jon Lovitz years ago who was somewhat factually challenged, because indeed the presentation from the left has been completely factually challenged this morning. Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join us to offer meaningful relief in the marriage penalty, to finally put the death tax to death, for marginal rate reductions, and for the American people getting some of their hard-earned money back immediately.”
