“Mr. Speaker, this bill fulfills many of the promises we made to the American people: lower taxes, lighter regulations, a secure border, more frugal spending, and a war on waste. Throughout history, these are the policies that have produced prosperity and security, and there is every reason to believe that they will again. I remind my conservative friends who say this bill doesn't go far enough that our process was not designed to make perfect law. It was designed to make the best law that is acceptable to a majority. Judging by the narrow votes, we have pushed this bill about as far toward perfection as our process allows. The proof is not in the debate points scored today, but rather, next year when Americans will ask themselves if they are better off. I believe, because of this bill, the answer will be a resounding yes, and perhaps that is what the Democrats fear most.”
