“we can shout down the gentleman from Mississippi, but the facts are the debt is going to go up $1.4 trillion in less than 2 years' time under the leadership of this side of the aisle. That is more than occurred in the first 205 years of this country. This tax cut that we vote today will borrow $800-plus billion over the next 10 years just to pay for it. I am standing up for my grandchildren today. The other side of the aisle can continue to ignore it; but let me point out all of the charts we have seen up here today, I assume for this moment they are all accurate, doing everything they profess to do over their economic game plan, we will owe $12 trillion at the end of 10 years' time. And some time between now and July 1, they are going to have to stand up and vote to increase the debt ceiling to pay for that which they argue for today. Do they really want to do that for our grandchildren? Or should we start looking into the future and not continue to look for what is good for us today? My vote today is with my grandchildren, not for us.”
