“I do not want to leave tonight leaving the impression that we are against tax cuts per se. I mean we are for responsible tax cuts that could be offset within the Federal budget. That seems to be a more fiscally responsible way of doing it. Tax cuts are great. I am a believer in providing tax relief in this country so long as we can pay for it and find some offsets in some other areas in the budget in order to pay for it so that we have some fiscal honesty as we move forward here on up, and I appreciate my friend's remarks from Wisconsin and the position he has taken in regards to the Social Security Trust Fund as well, and it should not be a partisan issue. It really should not, and hopefully it will not be because when you take on Social Security, both parties are going to need to lock arms together on this if we are going to have any progress and do right by the American people, and that is an extremely important point, and I appreciate my friend's comments in that regard.”
