today we declare victory for every taxpayer in America. Finally, a tax refund is on the way. The government has overcharged the American people, and it is time to return their money. This budget will provide long-term tax relief of $1.35 trillion over the next 11 years. This includes an immediate, much-needed hundred billion dollars this year. When Americans have more money in their pockets, the Nation's economy will benefit. This agreement on the budget resolution between the House and the Senate will also repay a historic $2.4 trillion on the debt by 2011, which is the maximum that can be repaid without penalty. This, too, will benefit our economy by lowering interest rates. Do not be misled by political rhetoric. Let us look at the facts and support this budget resolution. This budget is good for America and a victory for the taxpayers of this great Nation.
