It is obvious to the American people, while challenges confront us in working out details and, indeed, some would say those details may from time to time bedevil us, we do have a basic blueprint for changing the culture in Washington, for taking a step, regardless of party label, to transfer money, power, and influence out of this city and back into the hands of the American people. And with that and with the framework of this historic agreement, over a 10-year period of time, one-quarter of a trillion dollars in tax relief, in tax cuts for the American people, whether for job creation and economic expansion or with a drastic change to the unfair death tax or, importantly, early on now this $500 per child tax credit, governed by this simple notion: The money does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people, and the people should hang onto more of their own money to save, spend, and invest and send less of it here to this city.
