On the recordSeptember 8, 2004

This is, in my view, simply another attempt to turn the clock back on tax relief. While it is costly to extend tax relief permanently, the workers of this country deserve to know that their taxes will not be increased on a year-by-year basis. The tax relief passed by this House under this administration has clearly helped grow the economy. Chairman Greenspan has been invoked here, and it is fairly clear from his testimony before congressional committees that he believes that the tax plan that has passed the House and that has been signed into law has clearly stimulated the economy. This is the wrong time to block the extension of this tax relief. The House acted when it passed a direct and permanent solution to the needs of families struggling with the burden of day-to-day expenses. This motion, in my view, is unnecessary and sets us down a path of tax increases. I feel obliged to call upon the House to oppose this motion.
