I would correct a disingenuous argument that has been offered repeatedly. Folks on the other side throughout this past week and a half, 2 weeks, and we heard it tonight, say: Well, if we don't pass this bill, most Americans will face a tax increase. That is completely false. Time and again over the past 2 weeks, both in Ways and Means and Rules, Democratic Members offered amendments to protect and extend the tax cuts for every American making under $1 billion a year. Every single Democrat voted for those amendments. Every single Republican voted against them.
