I am just trying to learn what is in the Senator's amendment. I am going to debate against it in a minute, but I want to educate myself on what I am debating. The cost is $179 million over 10 years, but the program for steelworkers only lasts for 1 year, the 12 months' benefits. So it is actually about $179 million for 1 year's benefits for the eligible steelworkers in the Senator's amendment?

I do not defend 199, period. I think Congress--when you are rewriting the tax code, you should have a uniform corporate rate, not a lower rate for manufacturing.
Congress passed a bad law called the Windfall Profits Tax. That motivated me to run for Senate more than anything else.
