“I would just say that I agree with the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Minge), that there should not be the first tax cut until we have secured our children and the seniors in this country and what has been promised to them. But there also should not be the first penny left in Washington for us to spend that does not go towards those two goals. So, I will agree with the gentleman and he will find my vote lining right up there. But that does not say that we should not do the right thing now. Because somebody else is going to do the wrong thing does not mean that we should follow them down that road. Mr. Speaker, we should, without a doubt, pay for any supplemental spending to help our farmers and ranchers.”
