“Mr. Speaker, let me thank my neighbor from Utah, first of all, for both of his votes on tax relief. That is perhaps the most compelling testimony we have received tonight. It is a bit curious that we diverge on what is possible. I believe, and perhaps this is a point where those who embrace the Keynesian theory of economics can actually agree with those of us who characterize ourselves as supply-siders, at a time of economic downturn it is important to provide tax relief. Indeed, we have accepted that as an article of faith for those working families eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, and, indeed, as I can point out again from the Tax Foundation, with the child tax credit, a $30,000 head-of-household with two kids is going to get over $1,000 back under previously existing law. That money is going to go back to help those folks.”
