Kids don't expire
Wednesday morning at about 4am I turned on CNN to catch up on some news and hopefully coax myself back asleep. A few minutes after turning on the television I’m watching a report about Tom DeLay’s refusal to pass the child tax credit. When questioned, DeLay’s represenative (who just happened to be holding his child in his arms) claimed that DeLay did indeed support extending the child tax credit act because “as we all know, children don’t expire.”
That guy sure does have a way with words.
Posted by Ryan at June 13, 2003 09:57 AMDeLay’s greenmailing the Senate to increase the size of the budget busting deficit with a further $83 billion tax cut (on top of the understated $380 billion already passed) that his children willend up paying for. I wonder what his kids will do when they need Social Security?
I suppose the Republicans in the House will claim that the $3.5 billion for the poor will bust the budget so they’ll need to cut some programs. They’ll give them a miniscule tax break while cutting the safety net.
I call that sleight of hand.
