I have been here for 30 years. Three times we have put the investment tax credit in in tax reform. Three times we have taken it out in tax reform. Now you tell me, when is it reform, and when does it work to help the economy?
I regret the odious deal I had to make with the oilies, which was totally unjustified and given to them when no other business got it.
