There would have been private growth and private investment--not an increase in our deficit. But it goes on. In their summary of what the President was going to say, it said he favored a ``tax code that creates American jobs and pays down our debt.''

And how can the President--this is an unfair question, but I will ask the Senator from Wyoming--how can the President say he has a plan that pays down our debt when the lowest single deficit he proposes is nearly $500 billion?
