So I think this bill that we are coming up with has the components we need: Encouraging capital investment, particularly in small business. It has real tax relief and encourages and restores confidence among consumers to get out there and go to Wal-Mart, finish out their Christmas shopping, and it has unemployment insurance extenders and tax credits to cover health insurance for people who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Our proposal on that, I think, is a much stronger proposal than anything that has been put forward elsewhere. This is a very good package for stimulating the economy. I am glad we are going to pass it through this House.
