I think the Senator makes a great point. We have had a debate here this afternoon about economic growth. One of the realities now on which both sides of the aisle can agree is that the tax relief we are putting out there, which is helping middle-class families to have a little healthier family budget, is also helping workers with regard to the international competition. Right now, our workers are competing with one hand tied behind their back. All of this is going to generate more economic growth. It is going to come from more investment, more productivity. In fact, the number that the Joint Committee on Taxation put out today, although it is significantly lower than other numbers, is over $400 billion in more revenue coming in. That is enough growth to generate that much more revenue coming into the Federal Government.
