When people see the budget, they're going to say, 'Oh, my God, I wanted a tax cut, but I didn't know what you were going to do to health care and to Medicare and national defense.'

Health care costs are eating the Defense Department alive.

He got a tax cut of $100,000 and you only got $1.

We can have tax cuts, but when we have tax cuts and do not have a surplus, the amount of the tax cut goes straight to the bottom line, adds to the deficit, and the deficit adds to the national debt, and sooner or later, the debt has to be paid.

When enacted, health care reform provides generous tax credits to help people afford their health insurance premiums.

Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase.
