Lloyd Doggett said "I think that is right. In other words, most proposals dealing with the Tax Code would bring in the experts; would do the kind of thing that I sought to do with these tax shelter hustlers, bring in the academic experts, the people out in the field, as well as just some ordinary citizens from across the country, to point out what an outrage this is. But on this proposal, this has been more of a political gamesmanship kind of thing. They have not had a hearing because I guess other than recycling this old political rhetoric, there really would not be much to hear. Mr. McDERMOTT. That is why we call it a retread. It has been through here, and they are trying to do it again. I think we will see it next year." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
