On the recordJuly 17, 2003
I yield myself 45 seconds to also take this opportunity to point out the fraud that is being perpetrated upon the American people. I commented a moment ago about the Republicans' deep desire, or expressed desire to move the child tax credit for the bill that was passed on June 12. But people are not being fooled, Mr. Speaker. The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about this in an editorial and said the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) and others in the House deliberately made their bill richer than the Senate version because they knew that the Senate conferees would walk away and pass nothing instead. Well, actually, the Senate conferees did not have to walk away, because they have never even had to meet. Despite the expressed desire to move this bill forward, this tax credit forward, there has been no meeting of the conferees whatsoever.
