“Mr. Speaker, as a brief response, I would say if the gentleman's logic is correct today, it was more correct last year, because the amount of the tax bill last year was bigger than the amount of the tax bill this year. It required, according to his logic, not mine, his, more borrowing than this tax bill does. But he and most of the Democrats voted for it. We heard nothing about social security then. Social security is a manufactured argument on their part this year for political reasons. It is an election year.”
