“I come down to speak on behalf of this legislation because of the many positive effects we will see, not only, although goodness knows it is important enough to balance the budget for the first time in a generation, not only because we preserve and protect Medicare for the next decade and set up the framework with a bipartisan commission to look at the very serious questions that confront us when the baby boomers start to retire, but also because of the second part of this agreement which we will come to tomorrow, the first meaningful tax cuts for working Americans in 16 long years. Again, it is part of the difference in philosophy, where we honestly believe that working Americans deserve the chance to hold onto more of their hard earned money and send less of it here to Washington, and these two measures fit together like hand in glove. Today we deal with spending, tomorrow with tax cuts. The bottom line is a better future for the American Nation.”
