William H. Frist said "The legislation that we will be discussing--and, ultimately, I believe will pass--will clearly lower tax burdens, increase jobs, and expand and grow the economy in the short term, midterm, and in the long term. That is an objective I think both sides of the aisle share--expansion of the economy. With that, you have job creation and an increase in savings and investment. The House has done its work on the bill, and now it is time for the Senate to do the same, to send a very clear message to the American people that we are serious as a body, as an institution, as a Government, as the Congress, about creating jobs. When you say creating jobs, you are really saying to give job security to the people who have jobs, and also to those people across America who don't have jobs but who want jobs and are willing to work, to have that opportunity." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
