This is a wonderful place. I have to tell you, our child tax credit is 1 year more than your child tax credit. We did one this year; we are going to do one next year; and we are going to keep going. I love this place. Guys get wrapped around like a pretzel in this place. Let me be clear, I am against any tax cut for the wealthy.

But when I listen to the other side, I hear somebody who if this was a football game I would go back and say, I want a review, I want a review of the play, and I want to pull up the C-SPAN video of all the Republicans at the Rose Garden touting a big tax cut for the top 1 percent that blew a trillion-dollar hole in the economy. This place is ridiculous. Let's invest in the people. Let's not cut taxes for rich people. And we have a new name for the GOP: the grand old phonies. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members on both sides are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.
