“Reclaiming my time, I am making a larger point that will come around to the practical effect of this motion to instruct. The point I was trying to make, Mr. Speaker, is that because of an arcane rule in the other body, those tax cuts were made temporary, meaning next year if Congress does not act, the per child tax credits will go from $1,000 down to $700. The marriage penalty relief will go away and the marriage penalty will come back into full force which costs the average married couple $1,400 in higher taxes. And the 10 percent bracket which is income tax relief to low-income Americans will go away and go back to the 15 percent tax bracket.”
