In my discussion previously, and I wanted to add on to what the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Hayworth) said earlier, I had spoken, of course, of the programs to strengthen Social Security but also talked about modest tax decreases. I may have inadvertently said another word, but it is decreases and the tax cuts that are so important to our constituents back home. It is their hard earned money and we want to not only make sure that passes, but the private prepaid tuition plans are excellent. The bond value caps can help us with affordable housing, and also to help us with the school construction. All by having tax cuts, we are helping our communities. It is the opposite of what we had in the prior forty years with democratic rule, with tax increases which actually hurt us from having more jobs in the private sector.
