I would like to clarify. The other side is trying to say that if there are tax increases in the future, it all has to do with this bill which we just increased by a few hundred million. It has nothing to do with the $3 trillion debt that was run up in the last 6 years, Mr. Chairman. The 2007 tax returns versus next year's, the American people need to look at them, no increase. Our friends are saying 'the largest tax increase in the history of the United States' and it happens 2 years from now. I thought history was in the past. For 2008, check your returns, no tax increases.
