Madam President, I am pleased the managers' amendment includes language identical to S. 694, the Artist-Museum Partnership Act, I introduced with Senator Bennett earlier this year. I would like to thank Senator Bennett for his leadership on this issue and also would like to thank Senators Bingaman, Cochran, Daschle, Dodd, Domenici, Jeffords, Johnson, Kennedy, Lieberman, Lincoln, Reid, and Warner for cosponsoring this bill.

Patrick Leahy

This bipartisan legislation will enable our country to keep cherished art works in the United States and preserve them in our public institutions, while erasing an inequity in our Tax Code that currently serves as a disincentive for artists to donate their works to museums and libraries. Our bill would allow artists, writers and composers who donate works to museums and libraries to take a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the work. This is something that collectors who make similar donations are already able to do.

There is an inequality in the current tax law where artists who donate self-created works are only able to deduct the cost of supplies such as canvas, pen, paper, ink. This is unfair to artists and it hurts museums and libraries, large and small, that are dedicated to preserving works for posterity.

Patrick Leahy

In my State of Vermont, we are incredibly proud of the great works produced by hundreds of local artists who choose to live and work in the Green Mountain State. Displaying their creations in museums and libraries helps develop a sense of pride among Vermonters and strengthens a bond with Vermont, its landscape, its beauty and its cultural heritage. Anyone who has gazed at a painting in a museum or examined an original manuscript or composition, and has gained a greater understanding of both the artist and the subject as a result, knows the tremendous value of these works. I would like to see more of them, not fewer, preserved in Vermont and across the country.

Mr. NELSON of Florida. Madam President, the Boxer-Nelson of Florida amendment seeks to safeguard public health and improve our nation's drinking water by aiding water companies to secure tax-exempt bond to comply with the 10 parts per billion arsenic drinking water standard.

Thus, the 1942 arsenic standard of 50 parts per billion, a standard put in place before arsenic was known to cause cancer, remains the standard for our nation's drinking water.

The EPA knows arsenic is dangerous. In fact, the EPA has found another danger associated with arsenic in addition to cancer: genetic alteration of our DNA. In April of this year, a team of EPA scientists published a report in "Chemical Research Toxicology" that demonstrates that in addition to causing cancer, arsenic can induce genetic alterations to human DNA.

I greatly appreciate the consideration this amendment has received from Chairman Grassley, who has long been a leader in the area of adoption and foster care. He and Senator Baucus, along with the staff of the Finance Committee, have been extremely responsive to me and my staff as we worked through this amendment, and I thank them for their support of America's adopting families.

As my colleagues know, this legislation will continue and improve on two current tax provisions that are helping so many Americans who seek to form families through adoption: the adoption tax credit and the exclusion for employer-provided adoption benefits. These provisions are due to expire at the end of this year, and the Hope for Children Act will remove that sunset. It will also double the basic tax credit and exclusion, to $10,000. For a family adopting a child with special needs, the current credit of $6,000 will rise to $10,000; perhaps more important to these families, their credit will no longer be tied to cumbersome and inflexible IRS regulations that exclude a wide range of legitimate adoption expenses related to children with special needs. Our legislation will also make it possible for more families to qualify for the full credit and exclusion, by lifting the cap on income eligibility.

These are sound, necessary measures that truly help families. The Senate should be proud they are a part of our tax reconciliation package, and I hope they will be preserved in the upcoming conference with the House of Representatives. It is important to note that just last week, the House unanimously passed its version of the Hope for Children Act, H.R. 622. While that action suggests there is a consensus supporting the adoption tax credit, I strongly believe the Senate's version of that language is preferable, and I encourage the Senate's conferees to work to keep the Senate language intact.

Mr. President, there are still hundreds of thousands of children in this country and around the world who are waiting for permanent, safe, loving families. It is these children who are the focus of the Hope for Children Act, and it is on behalf of these children that I thank all my colleagues for supporting an amendment that will help make the promise of adoption a reality. I look forward to seeing this language preserved by the conference, adopted by the House and Senate, and sent to President Bush to be signed into law.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent no additional amendments to the pending reconciliation bill be in order other than consideration of the Collins-Warner amendment. I ask further consent that, following the disposition of the amendment described above, the bill be advanced to third reading, and a vote occur on passage, all without any intervening action, motion, or debate.

I further ask consent that, following that time, the Senate then proceed to executive session and the Committee on Foreign Relations be discharged from further consideration of the nomination of Senator Howard Baker to be Ambassador to Japan. I further ask consent that the Senate then proceed to its consideration and there then be up to 2 hours for debate on the nomination, to be equally divided between the chairman and ranking member of the committee.

I would appreciate being notified when I have used 30 seconds, so Senator Warner, the coauthor of this amendment, can have the remaining 30 seconds.

Susan Collins

Mr. President, the Collins/Warner teacher relief amendment would support the expenditures of teachers who strive for excellence beyond the constraints of what their schools can provide. Our amendment enjoys the bipartisan support of several of our colleagues, including Senators Landrieu, Cochran, Allen, Gordon Smith, Harkin, Mikulski, Jack Reed, DeWine, Hutchinson, Dodd, and Enzi as well as the endorsement of the National Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, American Association of School Administrators, National School Boards Association, National Association of State Boards of Education, Council for Exceptional Children, National Center for Learning Disabilities, and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards support the Collins/Warner Teacher Relief Amendment of 2001. I ask unanimous consent these support letters be printed in the Record.

John Warner

I join my distinguished colleague from Maine in a bipartisan effort with Senators Dodd, Mikulski, Harkin, and others. They have joined with us. This is not political. This is an amendment done for persons who teach our children. They simply take dollars out of their pocket and expend them for necessities in the classroom. All we are doing -- it is not tax relief, a tax break -- is returning those dollars to their pockets.

The education of our children can be no stronger than those to whom we entrust that educational responsibility. Let us recognize them with this very simple yet, I think, straightforward and heartfelt expression of the Senate.

Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Kerry, I offer amendment No. 787. We neglected to put it in the package. It promotes tax simplification by expanding the current IRS demonstration project which combines State and Federal employment tax for reporting on a single form.

Mr. President, I rise to engage the chairman of the Finance Committee in a colloquy regarding the earned income tax credit otherwise known as the EITC. I thank the Chairman for including my provisions expanding the EITC in the tax bill. It has come to my attention, however, that the EITC has a detrimental impact on the small U.S. Territories that are subject to tax laws that automatically mirror our Federal tax laws. As a result, these small Territories, like the U.S. Virgin Islands, end up absorbing the entire cost of the EITC, which they can ill afford. The burden of this unfunded Federal mandate is exacerbated because these small Territories will also lose needed revenues as a result of the mirror effect of the income tax rate reductions mandated by this bill.

However, the problem can be mitigated by an agreement between the Treasury Department and the interested territorial governments to permit these governments to require that employers advance 60 percent of EITC payments to employees as currently permitted under Section 3507 of the Internal Revenue Code and the allow the employer to deduct these advance payments from FICA taxes the employer currently remits to the U.S. Treasury, as permitted by Section 3507, not from withholding taxes the employer remits to the territorial government. The remaining 40 percent of the EITC payments would continue to be paid by the territorial governments upon filing of an eligible employee's tax return. I believe that no substantive amendment to the Internal Revenue Code is necessary to allow for such an agreement.

Bill Frist

Mr. President, I had intended to introduce an amendment to modify the taxation of so-called "special needs trusts" for disabled persons. The problem that cries out for change was first brought to my attention by a Tennessee constituent who has been contributing funds annually to a special trust for a disabled child. Under current law, the income from such trusts is taxed at very high rates because the tax writers were concerned about possible abusive use of such trusts. After discussion with the two managers of the bill, I am persuaded that we can work together to craft a better solution to this problem than the one I was prepared to propose. Therefore, with the understanding that we can work together in coming months to develop a better answer, I will not seek a vote on my amendment at this time.

Chuck Grassley

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Tennessee for his willingness to work with us to craft a solution to a very real problem. He shares with the Ranking Member and I a long history of concern for American taxpayers struggling with the overwhelming expense and other demands of severely disabled relatives. As the Senator knows, Special Needs Trusts, also known as Supplemental Needs Trusts, are a common estate planning tool for assisting in the planning for the long- term financial needs of the disabled.

Chuck Grassley

The Senator and others have helped bring to our attention the fact that these trusts are unduly burdened by the current trust tax requirements of Section 1(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. We recognize that these Special Needs Trusts will receive some relief under the Relief Act of 2001, but that more help is necessary. Therefore, I commit myself to the Senator from Tennessee to work with him and others to craft a solution to reduce the income tax burden imposed on special needs trusts and, simultaneously, to improve the lot of affected disabled Americans.

Max Baucus

Mr. President, I look forward to joining my colleagues from Tennessee and Iowa in working on this matter. I also hope our effort will give us an opportunity to address the problem of structured settlements, which are also funding mechanisms for the disabled. As the chairman knows, I have been trying to fix the structured settlement problem for a long time, and I welcome this chance to fix the two matters together.

Mr. President, amendment 676 is essentially the High Speed Rail Investment Act I introduced with Senator Hutchison earlier this year, that has 57 cosponsors, including the Majority and Minority leaders. Indeed, a majority of the Finance Committee supports this bill, as well.

Joe Biden

As the Administration introduces its proposal for a new energy policy, as we read daily about increasing congestion on our highways and at our airports, we simply must make safe, clean, high-speed passenger rail a key component of our nation's transportation system.

I say that this is essentially the same as the legislation that I introduced with Senator Hutchison and others earlier this year. Actually, the amendment we are offering today is an improved version, that addresses two key concerns of many of our colleagues.

Joe Biden

At the insistence of Senator Baucus, and with his cooperation, we have included new language with an unambiguous prohibition on the use of the Highway Trust Fund by States in meeting their matching requirements under this legislation. That is something that has always been important to him, and I am glad to say that we have reached an agreement on that issue.

Just as important, we have also added new language on the question of State and local taxation of the improvements that will come from upgrading rail lines around the country to carry high-speed passenger trains. I know that was a concern of Senator Grassley, along with many other Senators.

I support passenger rail in the United States and I support Amtrak. The State of Montana relies on Amtrak in the north and hopes to secure passenger rail in the south. Last Congress, I worked with Senators Lautenberg, Moynihan and Roth to protect the Highway Trust Fund from a raid by Amtrak. I have been working with Senator Biden this Congress to ensure a similar protection of the Highway Trust Fund.

I am extremely concerned about Amtrak "Double Dipping," by raiding the Highway Trust Fund in addition to selling bonds. I was so concerned that I withdrew my name as a cosponsor of the bill.

I am pleased to say that since then, I have worked with Senator Biden on acceptable language to protect the trust fund. However, this language has not been added to the current High Speed Rail Investment Act, S. 250. It has been included in an amendment that Senator Torricelli filed during the mark-up of this tax package in the Finance Committee and that Senator Biden offered and withdrew today. I can support the language in this amendment.

I know that Senators Torricelli and Biden and others wanted to offer this amendment today. I appreciate that they withdrew this amendment, because I don't think that this language belongs on this tax bill. I feel very strongly that we need to examine this bill further before we include it in any package.

As ranking Democrat on this Committee, with the changes included in this amendment, it is my intention to go through the official Committee process of mark-up and hearings, before we let this amendment be voted on. I would like to hold a hearing within a month after the completion of this tax package.

Mr. President, I rise to bring my colleagues' attention to an important issue which affects the men and women who are charged with enforcing our nation's tax laws. While I am withdrawing my amendment to the tax reconciliation bill which affects Section 1203 of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act, I hope that bringing this issue to the attention of the Senate, will allow us to address this important issue at a later time.

Section 1203 of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act outlines 10 infractions for which IRS employees must be removed from employment. These areas of misconduct have become known as the "Ten Deadly Sins". As of last year, a total of 109 violations of any of the ten infractions outlined in Section 1203 had been substantiated. Of those 109 infractions, 102 were of Section 1203(b)(8), which subjects employees to mandatory termination for failure to file their federal tax return on time.

I believe that all IRS employees should be required to file their tax returns on time and abide by the IRS Rules of Conduct. I also strongly believe that those who do not abide by the Rules of Conduct should be held accountable for their actions. However, it would seem that mandatory dismissal, rather than supervisory discretion in applying penalties for these infractions, is unduly harsh. This point becomes clear when we learn that IRS employees have been and continue to face the loss of their jobs for filing their income tax returns late, even when they have a tax refund coming to them. There are no other taxpayers who are subject to any penalty for the late filing of a tax return with a refund due.

Close to a thousand charges have been filed against IRS employees under section 1203(b)(6), which subjects employees to mandatory terminations for "harassment of, or retaliations against, a taxpayer. The latest data available shows that of the 830 investigations of these charges completed by the Inspector General for Tax Administration, none have been substantiated. Yet even though it appears that the overwhelming majority of these charges filed have been unfounded, the employees themselves must live under the constant fear of losing their jobs for sometimes more than a year, while the investigation of these charges goes on.

It would not be an overstatement to say that Section 1203 is having a chilling effect on the ability of employees at the IRS to perform their jobs. This notion is reflected in the fact that there has been a steadily declining audit-rate of non-compliant taxpayers. Making a minor change in the current law, as my amendment does, will do much to enable the overwhelming majority of honest, hardworking IRS agents to perform their duties in an efficient and professional manner.

I believe that my proposal strikes a reasonable balance which will permit IRS employees to do their jobs better, but will also maintain termination as a punishment for an employee who willfully harasses a taxpayer. As we continue to debate this reconciliation bill, which will make hundreds of changes to the tax code, I hope that we will make sure that the employees who we entrust to enforce these new laws are given the tools to do what they need to do.

The legislation before us already puts us at risk of raiding the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds. We spent much of the past 8 years working to climb out of a deficit ditch, and this bill steers us right back toward it.

This is not authorizing legislation subject to the further scrutiny of an appropriations process. Unlike other measures that come before us, this bill and the amendments to it have a direct and immediate impact on our budget.

A number of amendments have been offered to this measure that, while laudatory in their goals, further aggravate the fiscal position in which the underlying bill puts us. Without language offsetting the cost of the proposal, the amendments only add to the already fiscally irresponsible cost of the bill.

Mr. President, I was pleased to cosponsor Senator Schumer's amendment which was offered last week to help families with the cost of college tuition. Although the amendment did not pass, I wanted to state for the record the reasons for my support.

The decisions we make today must reflect the enduring values we hold as a society. Two of those values are the ideas of opportunity and equality for every citizen. In today's complicated society, opportunity and equality depend in large part upon the level of a person's education. In other words, the more and the better an education one gets, the greater the chances that person will succeed economically. The College Board tells us that "while the cost of college may be imposing to many families, the cost associated with not going to college is likely to be much greater." Indeed, over a lifetime, the gap in earning potential between a high school diploma and a college degree exceeds $1 million.

In addition, higher education is absolutely central to our ability to maintain our nation's global competitiveness. Highly trained, skilled workers making good wages are the engine that powers our economy, both because of the work they do and the revenue they generate as buyers and sellers of goods and services.

Yet, the cost of higher education is an increasing burden for American families. Since 1980, tuition at both public and private four- year colleges has increased on average more than 115 percent over inflation. A middle-income family spends an average of 17 percent of its annual income to send a child to a four-year public college today. If the family sends a child to a private college, the cost increases to an average of 44 percent of the family's income.

A family's financial status should not be the determining factor in whether a young person joins society with the advantages of higher education or not. Yet, families are understandably anxious about whether they will be able to provide their children with that educational advantage. They are similarly anxious about the debt burden their children may have to bear after graduation to pay off student loans.

America's families need help. This is why I introduced S. 888, the College Tuition Assistance Act of 2001, which is designed to provide tax relief to middle and lower income families who are struggling to pay these costs, both while a student is in school and after graduation when student loans come due.

Senator Schumer's amendment is an important step toward providing families with this type of help compared to what is now in the Finance Committee's bill. It increases the size of the tax deduction families may take to offset the burden of tuition payments. Senator Schumer's amendment also provides a larger tax credit for graduates paying interest on their student loans. Although the amendment failed, it recognized a critical issue.

Joseph Lieberman

Educational costs are difficult to bear, even for families who make a decent living. My bill would provide more relief to middle income families and would also extend a hand to lower income families, whose needs are far greater than the aid they receive to put their children through college. My bill also would provide relief sooner. So, I was pleased to support Senator Schumer's amendment and I intend to continue to fight for these provisions which would make a real difference for America's families.

Bill Nelson

Mr. NELSON of Florida. Mr. President, we have been down this road before. As a Congressman in 1981, I supported the Reagan tax cuts that were promoted as a cure-all for the economic ailments of that era. Instead, they led to year after year of increasing deficits, exploding national debt, and a series of tax increases enacted to stem the tide of red ink.

Bill Nelson

With fiscal discipline and a growing economy, we reversed that tide just 3 years ago. Since 1998, we have enjoyed surpluses instead of deficits. And we have been paying down the debt, reducing the massive interest costs that have burdened America's taxpayers.

Bill Nelson

But now the Government is about to dig into our pockets, pull out our credit cards again, and go stumbling down that road toward economic calamity. And -- with smoke and mirrors -- some are trying to hide the costs we'll incur along the way. By manipulating the starting and phase-in dates for the various tax cuts -- and setting unlikely expiration dates on some of them -- this bill is jury-rigged to fit within the $1.35 trillion allotted for tax cuts over 11 years in the Senate's budget resolution.

But, the fact is, it won't fit once we consider other tax breaks already in the pipeline and spending priorities such as defense, education and prescription drug benefits. And this bill does not guarantee to pay down the national debt.

Bill Nelson

Every Senator in this Chamber believes we will enact additional tax relief, and provide for our Nation's most pressing needs over the next decade. The additional untold story of this legislation is that -- even if that were possible -- the cost of this tax plan would triple in the next decade. Unless you believe we are simply going to take back the tax cuts we are promising today, you are talking about a price tag exceeding $4 trillion in the decade from 2012 to 2022 -- when the baby boomers will all be retired.

And is that how we are going to keep our economy growing and prospering? By returning to deficit spending, ever-increasing national debt, and costly interest payments on that debt?

That is the road we are headed down. I have been down it before, and I'm convinced it's the wrong road. I am choosing instead to take the conservative road of fiscal responsibility.

Bill Nelson

I strongly support responsible tax cuts of nearly $1 trillion that would give Americans the relief they deserve. I voted for such cuts as some of us tried to amend both this bill and the earlier budget resolution. Specifically, I support tax cuts that meet four criteria -- tax cuts that (1) do not raid Social Security; (2) do not raid Medicare; and (3) provide relief from the marriage tax penalty now, not later; and (4) pay down the national debt.

Bill Nelson

With all due respect to Senators Grassley and Baucus, we are about to vote on a tax bill that largely promises future relief based on future surpluses that may not materialize. It poses a serious threat to our economy because it will use up what surplus there is so we cannot pay down the national debt. And it seriously threatens our Medicare and Social Security trust funds -- not only in 2012 but beginning next year.

Bill Nelson

I promised the people of Florida I would do everything in my power to enact a substantial tax cut, which is balanced, in order to protect those trust funds and to continue paying down the national debt. I promised I would fight for a prescription drug benefit, and that I would work for better schools, a clean environment and a strong defense. I intend to keep those promises, and I must vote against this bill.

Mr. President, I rise today in opposition to the tax bill currently being debated on the floor today. Everybody agrees that we need tax relief. But we must do it in a way that is affordable, responsible, and ensures that we are on sound fiscal footing. Unfortunately, the Republican tax cut does none of these things. I will vote against this tax cut for three reasons: It is irresponsible, premature, and it does not meet the compelling needs of our Nation.

The Republican tax cut is irresponsible because it mortgages our future for lavish tax cuts. It is premature, there is no way to guarantee that the Republican tax cut will be here today and that the American people can count on it tomorrow.

Finally, this tax bill makes it impossible to meet the compelling needs of our Nation. It does not have an economic stimulus in 2001; the size of the tax cut will make it difficult to make balloon payments coming due on Social Security and Medicare; and it will be extremely unlikely that the money will be there to create a meaningful and reliable Medicare prescription drug benefit.

I support the Democratic alternative because it ensures that we are meeting the day to day needs of our constituents and the long range needs of our country. What does the democratic alternative provide? First, Democrats want to put $300 in your checkbook right away, today, this year. Or $600 per family. This would provide an immediate economic stimulus and help all Americans who are struggling to pay for skyrocketing gasoline and energy prices.

Democrats would also provide tax cuts for all income taxpayers by reducing the 15 percent tax bracket to 10 percent on the first $6,000 income. Additionally, we include significant marriage penalty and estate tax relief, we raise IRA and 401(k) contribution limits, double the child tax credit, make college tuition tax deductible and provide resources to schools and communities modernize and build new facilities. I am also pleased that our bill includes an extension of the adoption tax credit and makes permanent the Research and Development tax credit. The democratic plan is balanced, fiscally prudent, and leaves resources so we can continue to pay down our debt, and make the balloon payments coming due on Social Security and Medicare.

Unfortunately, the Republican tax plan papers over the fiscal realities of our country. We need to get back to basics, to save lives, save communities, and save America. What do I mean by this? Well, while we are in the midst of debating bloated tax cuts, we have Marines who are on food stamps. I don't see how we can meet our national security commitment, do a $1.35 trillion tax cut, and have Marines on food stamps.

The Marines say "semper fi," "always faithful." They are faithful to the United States and we have to be always faithful to the Marine Corps and to the military. That's why we must ensure that we have the resources to invest in core infrastructure programs, like the military, that will pay dividends in the future.

Democrats want to put money in people's pocketbooks, but we want to do it is a way that it is here today and in people's checkbooks tomorrow. We believe we're on the side of people who are middle class and those who are working their heart out to be able to get there.

I hope that my colleagues will join me in opposing the Republican tax cut. We should do what's responsible, honest, and allows us to meet the compelling human need in our nation today. The democratic alternative will put us on the right track to doing just that.

Mr. President, I had intended to offer an amendment to H.R. 1836, the Reconciliation Tax Act, that would have called for a $1.7 billion increase in veterans health care funding. Senators Bingaman, Wellstone, Durbin, and Dorgan supported my amendment. While I will refrain from offering my amendment today, I will nonetheless continue to fight for improved health care for our Nation's heroes.

However, when the time comes for real decisions to be made on the prioritization of veterans issues in the budget, too many Members of this body are missing in action. A case in point occurred during debate of the budget resolution. Despite bipartisan support for increased funding for veterans health care in both the House and the Senate, the budget conference report include funding levels below that proposed by the administration.

Last week, I spoke with veterans from South Dakota who expressed their concern that the current level of funding in the budget conference report could mean long waits for appointments and reductions or cuts in vital services. These situations are not unique to my State and affect every VA hospital and clinic in the country.

When the current level of funding in the budget conference, the VA could be forced to delay and even deny needed care and slash vital programs. Long term care and other provisions authorized under the Millennium Health Care Act must be fully funded in order to be carried out. The VA is faced with salary increases and inflation which alone consume over $1 billion of health care dollars.

The Paralyzed Veterans of America, PVA, noted that the budget conference report "pays a grave disservice to the sacrifice of the men and women who have served this Nation. By providing fewer resources than was provided in the House-passed version, or the Senate-passed version, the conference report breaks faith with veterans. By providing fewer dollars than even the Administration's inadequate request for health care and benefits delivery programs, the conference report calls into question the commitment of this Congress to sick and disabled veterans." The Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW, described the budget conference report as "sadly inadequate" and unable to cover "uncontrollable expenses such as health-care cost inflation, implementation of the congressionally mandated Millennium Health Care Act and other pressing initiatives." The Disabled American Veterans, DAV, and AMVETS noted that an additional $1.7 billion would provide necessary resources to meet the needs of the men and women who have served our nation and rely upon the VA for the health care they need.

With an additional $1.7 billion, we will have the resources for a VA veterans health care budget that can adequately offset years of underfunding, the higher costs of medical care caused by consumer inflation, medical care inflation, wage increases, and legislation passed by Congress. Only with this additional funding will the VA be unable to address the treatment of Hepatitis C, emergency medical services, increased cost due to medical inflation, and long-term care initiatives.

The budget conference report is clearly inadequate to meet the needs of sick and disabled veterans. It is unacceptable that while the House provided an increase, and the Senate truly met the needs of the VA, we are left with a figure that is below the amount found in either resolution, below the amount recommended by the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, below the amount initially requested by VA Secretary Principi, and far below the amount recommended by the Independent Budget.

The amount in the conference report fails to meet mandatory salary increases due to inflation, fails to meet medical care inflation, and returns us to the days of inadequate budgets to meet the needs of veterans. Our country's heroes deserve better, and I encourage my colleagues to honor their service by supporting increased funding for veterans health care.

Mr. President, I am in strong opposition to the tax cut bill that the Senate has been considering over the past few days. I am sorry to say that this legislation fails the basic tests of responsible government. It is fiscally irresponsible to use $1.35 trillion of the surpluses projected over the next 10 years to pay for a tax cut, since these estimated surpluses may never materialize. Even the Congressional Budget Office, CBO, acknowledges that there is considerable uncertainty in their forecasts. In fact, within the CBO's estimates, they suggest that even a 1 percent per year slower growth in GDP would reduce the 10-year surplus by $2.4 trillion. With that much uncertainty, this tax cut is too large and risks squandering the fiscal discipline that has been so hard fought and earned over the past several years. With these excessive revenue losses, we will certainly sacrifice our ability to adequately provide for critical programs in the areas of health care, education, the environment, transportation infrastructure, defense and further paying down of the national debt. Now, many of the supporters of this legislation also tout the theory that government should be run like a business. However, no chief executive of a corporation would allow dividends to be locked in for 10 years, when earnings forecasts are so unclear. In addition, no corporation would ever submit a budget that would have critical elements missing, such as is the case with defense spending in this budget.

The tax cut also fails the test of responsible budgeting. The bill before the Senate is so backloaded that the full costs don't appear in the 10-year estimates provided by the Senate Finance Committee. Analysis by the CBO and the General Accounting Office, GAO, shows that the retirement of the baby boom generation will put enormous pressure on the budget starting a little over a decade from now. This is at the exact time when the full cost of the tax cut will be felt and will almost surely aggravate the deficits that many analysts expect to emerge at that point. Simply put, this bill is far more expensive than it appears. For example, 60 percent of the costs in the legislation don't occur until the second half of this decade. Some of the most expensive provisions, such as the full repeal of the estate tax, don't appear until the last year, so their real costs are truly masked. Other provisions expire in 5 years, such as Alternative Minimum Tax relief and tuition tax deduction, so their full cost is hidden. The effect of these sunset provisions also ensure that these issues will have to be considered again by a future Congress. Some analysts have also suggested that if all of the provisions in the bill were effective immediately, the full cost over ten years would likely be over $2 trillion, while the costs in the next ten years could exceed $4 trillion. Lastly, this legislation is a sham as it purports to include a complete tax package for the next decade, when realistically, many more tax items that are expiring shortly, otherwise known as "extenders," will have to be added down the road. Again, far too much money is in play here while budgetary gimmicks and tricks are dictating the process.

This tax cut is also markedly unfair. Cuts in marginal tax rates above the 15 percent bracket and repeal of the estate tax benefit a small group of taxpayers who have experienced remarkable growth in income and wealth over the past five years. However, the legislation appears to neglect one important group of people: those taxpayers in the 15 percent bracket. Although the proponents of this bill would suggest that most taxpayers are in the 28 percent bracket or higher, the facts are otherwise. Research by the Democratic staff of the Joint Economic Committee and the Budget Committee point out that an overwhelming majority of those who pay income tax are in the 15 percent bracket, close to 75 percent, and would get no benefit from the upper bracket rate cuts in this bill. Now, the bill does provide a tax cut for everyone who pays income tax by creating a new 10 percent tax bracket immediately, albeit a minuscule one for those in the lowest bracket. In addition, the bill makes the child credit refundable, and in a manner that reduces marginal tax rates for many working families with children. Both of those provisions are worthwhile and should in fact be expanded. Nonetheless, Citizens for Tax Justice, CTJ, has provided an analysis of the legislation's rate cuts, and many of its findings are disturbing, to say the least. Some of these include: the top one percent of all taxpayers, with income of $373,000 or more, would receive one-third of the entire tax cut; the top one percent would receive an average yearly tax cut of over $20,000, while the bottom 20 percent would receive an average yearly cut of $64; and the middle 20 percent of taxpayers, incomes ranging from $27,000 to $44,000, would receive 9 percent of the tax cut, an average of about $600 per year.

One prominent example of the unfairness in this tax bill is the repeal of the estate tax. Supporters of this legislation perpetuate the myth that the estate tax is a "death tax." The truth is that 98 percent of Americans face no tax liability under the estate tax when they die. In fact, the repeal of the estate tax takes away budget resources that could be used to pay down the debt and increase national saving, and it uses those resources to benefit a tiny group of very wealthy taxpayers. The effect on the Treasury will be astounding: although the Finance Committee estimates the estate tax portion of the bill to cost $146 billion over 10 years, because this provision is backloaded, the real costs will come after full repeal in 2011, costing almost $1 trillion over the next ten years. The impact on states will also be overwhelming. A majority of the states use a "pickup" system for their estate tax, whereby they essentially receive a portion of the Federal estate tax receipts. I know that in my State of Rhode Island, the estate tax accounted for $34.2 million in state revenue for fiscal year 2000. What can $34.2 million pay for? In fact, it can pay for 681 more police officers, or 729 more firefighters, or 575 more elementary school teachers. If the estate tax is repealed, States like Rhode Island will no doubt have to make up the shortfall in revenue by raising State taxes or cutting their budgets. Total State revenue loss when the estate tax is fully repealed could exceed $9 billion. Toward what end is this repeal aimed? In 1999, Rhode Island had 134 estates that were subject to the estate tax, 15 of which were estates of $5 million or more. That is out of a total of about 486,000 taxpayers. Although the numbers for other States will fluctuate based on their size, we are again talking about a very small proportion of our whole population. That is why I have supported an alternative that would reform, rather than repeal the estate tax system. By raising the tax exemption levels to $4 million for individuals and $8 million for couples, almost all family-owned farms and businesses will be erased from the estate tax rolls. However, the tax would remain on the largest estates that have the ability, and the responsibility, to pay for the enormous wealth they have been fortunate enough to acquire.

To put things into perspective, the supporters of this bill and the Bush administration are hoping to pass a huge tax cut and increase military spending, while relying on rosy estimates of our economy 10 years down the line. Much of this debate recalls an earlier era during which Congress and the Reagan Administration attempted to do the same thing. Why are we rushing to pass a tax cut that is even more irresponsibly constructed than the 1981 tax cut; a tax cut which caused spiraling deficits and mounting debt in the 1980s and early 1990s? This bill takes the wrong approach and it is irresponsible. There is an approach we can take to provide meaningful and targeted tax relief to hard working American families, while ensuring that we have the resources to pay down the debt and invest more fully in our nation's environment, health care, education and other critical priorities. Sadly, the legislation before us rejects that balanced approach and embraces a policy which will threaten our prosperity and undermine our ability to respond to the needs of working American families.

Mr. President, I rise to support this tax cut bill, though not with great enthusiasm and not without great trepidation. It is clear that a balanced tax cut is justified given the massive budget surplus we are experiencing. Whether this is that tax cut is a different question.

We have heard much this week about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. We have gone beyond that point with this bill. The debate now is whether we will let the good be the enemy of the acceptable.

The booming economy of the last few years has resulted in exploding tax revenues and growing budget surpluses. These surpluses present great opportunity and great risk. There is the opportunity to invest in unmet national needs; education, health care, retirement security, agriculture, child care. And there is opportunity to return some tax dollars to the hard working families whose productivity has driven our solid economic performance. As Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has stated, a tax cut gets resources to those who know best how to take care of their families, the taxpayers themselves.

But with these opportunities come great risks. We are at risk of putting too much faith in multi-year projections of ever-growing surpluses. We are at risk of locking in revenue losses and deficits with which future Congresses and generations will have to grapple. The $1.35 trillion tax cut comes dangerously close to threatening the trust fund surpluses that protect Social Security and Medicare. That is why I cosponsored an amendment to put in place a "trigger" that would delay scheduled tax cuts if the trust fund surpluses were violated. That is also why I supported several attempt to bring the total tax cut number down and reserve some of those funds for spending priorities or debt reduction. Unfortunately, none of these amendments was accepted.

What was accepted, at the insistence of a groups of Democratic and Republican moderate Senators, was a sunset that ends all the tax cuts instituted in this bill after 10 years. At minimum, that will force Congress to reexamine the wisdom of the policies we put in place today and adjust them to fit with the economic and budget circumstances of tomorrow.

The other risk we face is passing a tax bill that tilts too much toward those who already have so much. I would have preferred a bill that included more relief for middle and lower income tax payers, and I supported numerous amendments to expand the tax benefits for these working families. None of those amendments passed.

That is not to say that this bill does not contain significant tax relief for these families. The provisions that expand and make refundable the child tax credit will make a real difference in the lives of millions of children struggling now in families living at or near the poverty line. These are gains that were not included in the House passed bill and that must be retained in the Conference Report to make the final bill acceptable. In addition, the Senate bill includes significant tax incentives for those who send their children to college and those trying to save for retirement. These too must be retained.

And finally, the bill contains a small provision on which I have worked for several years, the Child Care Infrastructure Tax Credit. This gives a modest tax incentive to employers who choose to invest in child care for their employees. This Nation clearly faces a crisis level shortage in quality child care -- and quality child care is often the difference between work and welfare, between healthy children and struggling families. We win as a Nation and as an economy when we get employers involved in creating and supporting early childhood teachers and facilities.

These are all good reasons to vote for this bill. But there is another reason that overwhelms these all.

Herb Kohl

I am a Democrat who supports tax cuts. I am a moderate at a time when political power is wobbling from right to left. It is a certainty that a tax bill will be signed into law this year. If those like myself say "no" now, and push away from the table, we may be able to make some lofty political statements in time for the six o'clock news. But we take Democratic principles and the interests of working families with us. And I am not ready to do that.

So I vote in favor of this bill today with the hope and expectation that it remains a bill that benefits working families, students, retirees, and children tomorrow. And I commend Chairman Grassley and the ranking member, Senator Baucus, for the clear effort and good faith with which they put together this bill.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

Mr. President, I support a meaningful tax cut that provides all Americans with financial relief as quickly as possible, but I can not in good conscience support the bill before us today. The decision the Senate is faced with is not whether we should have a tax cut -- no one can doubt that Democrats and Republicans alike want a tax cut. Rather, the question is how can we create a tax cut that is fair to the majority of working people and still have enough resources for other critical national priorities?

John D. Rockefeller, IV

During the Senate's consideration of this bill, I supported a $900 million tax package that provides broad relief to all Americans -- across the income spectrum -- while ensuring sufficient funds for continued debt reduction and important programs like a Medicare prescription drug benefit. Unfortunately, the tax bill that we are on the brink of passing here today is significantly too large and is heavily skewed toward the most wealthy. If budget surpluses fail to materialize as projected, this bill will threaten our ability to fund urgent national priorities such as education and road construction, and could force us to dip into the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds in the coming year just as the Baby Boomers begin to retire.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

Mr. President, this bill is simply too large, given the enormous uncertainty of long-term budget projections. I believe that both President Bush's $1.6 trillion plan and this $1.35 trillion plan jeopardize our economic future and the long-term solvency of the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

The facts are stark: Social Security payments will exceed income in 2015, and Medicare payments exceed income in 2010. We will be forced to tap into the Social Security Trust Fund principal in 2025 and the Medicare Trust Fund principal in 2017. In 2037, the Social Security Trust Fund will be exhausted, and the Medicare Trust fund will be exhausted even earlier, in 2025. I believe this tax bill jeopardizes the long-term solvency of Social Security and Medicare. These programs are fundamental for our seniors, and we have an obligation to ensure that both the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds are protected before enacting massive tax cuts.

This tax bill is even larger than it appears, because it is backloaded in order to keep the real cost of the overall package hidden. Estate tax repeal does not occur until 2011, so its full cost is not included in the Budget Resolution numbers. Marriage penalty relief -- which to me should be a higher priority than estate tax repeal because it helps all married taxpayers across-the-board -- does not begin to phase in until 2006. Because of these late phase-ins, the true cost of this tax plan will not be apparent until the second 10 years. While the cost of the tax plan in the first 10 years is an estimated $1.35 trillion, the cost explodes in the second 10 years to $4 trillion.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

There are other gimmicks in the tax bill designed to make the tax cut's impact look smaller than it actually is. For example, the tuition deduction sunsets in 2005, in order to keep the cost of the overall bill within the $1.35 trillion limit. But we all know from experience that the Congress will certainly renew this popular deduction in 2005 when it expires, so the relatively limited price tag for this provision is intentionally misleading.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

This bill also fails to address the need to reform the alternative minimum tax (AMT). AMT was designed to make sure the very richest people paid their fair share of taxes, but as a result of this bill, almost 40 million mostly middle income taxpayers will actually pay substantially more in AMT by the end of the decade. This is a problem that will have to be dealt with in the next few years, or much of the tax relief in this bill will be nullified. Real AMT reform will cost several hundred billion dollars -- an expense which is not accounted for in this tax bill.

Further, the majority has already asserted that it intends to pass additional corporate tax cuts this session. As large as this tax package is, the final figure will surely grow.

Another fundamental problem with this bill is that the lion's share of the tax relief it contains goes to the wealthiest Americans. Estate tax repeal was included in the bill, despite the fact that 98 percent of Americans who die are not subject to the estate tax and pass their estate on to their heirs tax free. Indeed, only 47,000 taxpayers in the entire country even pay the estate tax each year, and half of all estate taxes are paid by the wealthiest 0.1 percent of Americans. According to Responsible Wealth, the estate tax is repealed under this bill in 2011 at a cost of $60 billion -- which effectively means we will need to tap into the Medicare Trust Fund in order to meet our obligations.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

State and local taxes may need to be raised to make up for the loss of state estate tax revenues, which are also eliminated by this tax bill. Under the federal estate tax, taxpayers are allowed a credit up to a certain amount for payment of estate taxes, and many states, like West Virginia, tax up to the amount of the credit. If the estate tax is repealed, the credit will be eliminated as well, and West Virginia would lost over $20 million in revenue a year that is being used to fund critical state programs.

Another way this tax bill benefits the very wealthy is the cut in the top rate from 39.6 percent to 36 percent. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the cost of this cut will be $114 billion. This is one of the more expensive provisions in the bill -- but the top rate only takes effect at $297,000. So very few taxpayers, including only 0.3 percent of West Virginians, actually receive any benefit from it.

The Senate version of the tax plan does make some improvements in terms of fairness of the distribution of tax cuts. I strongly supported a provision to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit, so that families earning between $13,000-$16,000 a year will get the full EITC assistance. I also cosponsored Senator Snowe's amendment to give partial refundability of the enhanced child credit so that families with children can benefit from this tax cut. The bill gives families earning over $10,000 a 15 percent child credit, making the child credit partially refundable.

Both of these provisions are improvements, but they do not make up for a tax package that is otherwise unfair to our state, and an unnecessary bonanza for only the wealthiest. The provisions for low- income families and children account for just 5 percent of the $1.35 trillion package.

In addition, the low income improvements of this bill don't even benefit all families with children. Nearly 68,000 children in West Virginia won't be helped by the partial refundability provision because with incomes of less than $10,000 their families still do not "earn enough." West Virginia taxpayers without children would receive little tax relief under the tax bill, according to Citizens for Tax Justice. The bill does nothing to relieve the real federal tax burdens faced by average West Virginians, who pay not only income taxes, but high payroll taxes and federal excise taxes.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

During the Senate consideration of this bill, I offered an amendment to put a Medicare prescription drug benefit on equal footing with the tax cut for the wealthiest Americans -- those in the uppermost income bracket. My amendment required that we enact a universal and affordable Medicare outpatient prescription drug benefit before the income tax cuts for the very wealthiest go into effect. The amendment was defeated 48-51, on a mostly party-line vote.

I sincerely believe my amendment would have put positive pressure on Congress to enact the Medicare prescription drug benefit we all promised our constituents. The vote tells me that many Members understand very well that the size of this tax cut threatens our ability to pass a Medicare prescription drug benefit.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

In sum, the overall size of this tax package jeopardizes our economic future and the future solvency of Society Security and Medicare for today's workers and for our children. While the Senate version of the tax bill is an improvement over the House and Bush plan, too much of the tax cut still goes to the wealthiest, while hardworking West Virginia taxpayers -- seniors, families with children, married couples, and singles -- receive little or virtually no benefit. For these reasons, I cannot support this legislation.

Mr. President, I will vote against this tax bill because it is not fiscally responsible. This enormous tax cut may end up raiding the Medicare and Social Security Trust Fund balances. It risks a return to the annual budget deficits Congress worked so hard to eliminate. It will cause our Nation to miss what may be a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to put our fiscal house in order by paying down debt, strengthening Social Security, and modernizing Medicare. And it does not fairly distribute its benefits. For these reasons, I must oppose it.

This is the most momentous budgetary vote in two decades. For with this vote, Congress appears poised to turn its back on 8 years of fiscal responsibility. With this vote, Congress appears willing to return to the deficit spending days of the 1980s.

I do believe that taxpayers deserve tax relief. With the favorable surpluses before us, we should cut taxes. I supported Senator Conrad's proposal to cut taxes by $745 billion over the next 10 years. With its associated interest costs, that package would have devoted roughly $900 billion to tax relief.

But the tax cut in this conference report is too large relative to the surpluses that economists have projected. It seeks to devote $1.35 trillion to this one purpose. Interest costs could add another $400 billion to the cost.

We should not commit to tax cuts of this size before the projections of future surplus dollars have proved real, before we have ensured the long-term solvency of the vital Medicare system, before we have brought that program up-to-date with needed prescription drug and long-term- care benefits, and before we have done one single thing to prepare the vital Social Security safety net for the impending retirement of the baby boom generation.

With this bill, the Congress appears headed toward repeating the fiscal mistake it committed in 1981. Recall that back in 1981, they had surplus projections, too. In President Reagan's first budget, incorporating his major tax cut, the administration projected a $28 billion surplus in the fifth year, 1986. In the actual event, the Federal Government ran up a $221 billion deficit in 1986.

The 1980s saw the accumulation of more than $1.5 trillion in deficits and the tripling of the Federal debt held by the public. The Congress's decision to cut taxes too deeply in 1981 thus robbed the Nation of fiscal policy tools, and unduly constrained the Federal Reserve Bank in its monetary policy.

We risk committing that same error again today. As I have noted, the bill before us will cost at least $1.35 trillion in its first 10 years. And during this bill's second 10 years, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that it will cost more than $4 trillion.

And those costs will come just as the Nation faces growing costs for Medicare and Social Security with the retirement of the baby boom generation. In their 2001 annual report, concluded under the Bush administration, the Trustees of the Medicare Hospital Insurance trust fund project that its costs will likely exceed projected revenues beginning in the year 2016. The Trustees say: "Over the long range, the HI Trust Fund fails by a wide margin to meet our test of financial balance. The sooner reforms are made the smaller and less abrupt they will have to be in order to achieve solvency through 2075." Similarly, Social Security's Trustees remind us again this year that when the baby-boom generation begins to retire around 2010, "financial pressure on the Social Security trust funds will rise rapidly." The Trustees project that, as with Medicare, Social Security revenues will fall short of outlays beginning in 2016. The Trustees conclude: "We should be prepared to take action to address the OASDI financial shortfall in a timely way because, as with Medicare, the sooner adjustments are made the smaller and less abrupt they will have to be." This bill robs the nation of resources to deal with these important challenges.

As well, the bill before us is tilted heavily toward high-income taxpayers. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, when this bill's tax cuts are fully phased in, the highest-income one percent of taxpayers would receive 35 percent of the benefits of the bill. The majority of taxpayers in the bottom three-fifths of the population would get only a little more than 15 percent of the bill's benefits.

When this bill's tax cuts are fully phased in, the one percent of taxpayers with the highest incomes would receive an average tax cut of more than $44,000, while taxpayers in the middle fifth of the population would receive an average tax cut of less than $600.

This is not a balanced bill. It is not balanced fiscally. And it is not fairly balanced in its benefits. I will therefore vote against it, and I urge my colleagues to vote against it as well.

Mr. President, as we near completion of debate over this tax bill, I want to commend the Chairman of Finance Committee, Senator Grassley, and the Ranking Democrat, Senator Baucus, for their good faith efforts to craft a tax bill and move it through the Finance Committee, that is no easy task, and I have enormous respect for their hard work and the extent to which they each listened to members from both sides of the aisle. I am particularly grateful to see that the Finance Committee included a proposal advocated by myself, Senator Snowe, and Senator Lincoln which would extend the child tax credit to perhaps as many as an additional 16 million children. The legislation's new child credit refundability provision amounts to nearly $70 billion in expanded relief for working families with children. That is truly an accomplishment.

John Kerry

Nevertheless, today we are considering more than a tax bill -- and much more than a number of individual tax pieces. What we do here has consequence. Nothing happens in a policy vacuum, nothing happens that doesn't affect everything else we do for this economy, the choices we can and can not make for this country. This is more than just a tax bill. It is a blueprint for the next several years, and, as such, I am sorry to say it is a blueprint that jeopardizes the fiscal discipline that has been the foundation of the long-term economic growth our country has enjoyed in recent years.

John Kerry

This tax cut is one of the great lost opportunities of the last twenty years in American politics. I want a broad-based tax cut that reaches every American and I want it done in a way that's fiscally responsible. I'm not alone. We could have had that, instead, we have a tax cut that's based on projections that won't hold up and which I fear will, as a consequence, bring us back to deficit economics again in this country. It didn't have to be this way. No business in America pays out dividends to shareholders based on ten year profit projections -- neither should the government.

As someone who worked hard to put the budget in the black, from Gramm-Rudman Hollings deficit reduction in 1986 when "balanced budget" was a dirty word for Democrats, to the tough vote in 1993, to the balanced budget in 1997, I can't stress enough how this vote takes the country in the wrong direction on the question of fiscal discipline.

John Kerry

President Bush has said over and over, it's your money, not the government's money. It's also your debt. Under the tax cut that's about to be sent to the floor all it takes is one dip in the economy, one blip in surplus projections, and we've returned to the days of deficit economics, and that means higher interest rates on student loans, on car loans, and on mortgages. It means we slow the economy. That's not fiscally responsible policy-making, and it's a departure from the course of fiscal conservatism that brought us the growth and prosperity of the last eight years.

John Kerry

We could have made a different choice. We could have had a one, a two, or a three year tax cut. We could have stimulated growth. If surpluses were here after that, we could have cut taxes again, and I've never seen a Congress that didn't like to cut taxes. But that's not what's happening here. Tax politics is trumping fiscal discipline and honest economic policy.

We know the history here, and we know what a departure this represents. In 1993, the Senate cast a difficult vote to commit the Congress and the country to getting the deficit under control. This tax bill, if passed, could well be the vote that casts away that fiscal discipline.

John Kerry

Last week, we voted on a budget resolution. That budget resolution is nonbinding. But it gives us a framework for understanding how all the different pieces -- the tax bill, discretionary spending, Social Security, Medicare, and debt reduction, will fit together. In so doing, the budget resolution made certain assumptions, assumptions regarding the economy and assumptions regarding spending.

First, the budget resolution is based on CBO's ten-year economic projections which are, overly optimistic and, by definition, hopelessly unreliable, as I will explain. Second, it assumes that nondefense spending will be held slightly below the rate of inflation for the next 10 years. We have not held spending to that level in decades. Third, it assumes that no additional funds will be needed for Social Security reform. I have yet to see a viable Social Security reform plan which did not need additional funds to address transitional costs. Fourth, although it did assume certain funds for Medicare, funding for a prescription drug benefit will have to compete with funding for overall Medicare reform. Finally, although it created a defense reserve fund, there was no money in the budget allocated for this purpose. It will have to compete with all other spending priorities.

Clearly, each of these assumptions deserves close scrutiny because they are the foundation for the tax cut we are considering.

John Kerry

A little over three years ago, in January of 1998, the Congressional Budget Office projected that the federal government would accumulate a 10-year unified surplus of $660 billion. While the January CBO report appeared only a few short months after the Asian financial crisis of 1997, its authors were careful to note that their ten-year projections were based not on cyclical effects, but rather on certain beliefs regarding the long-term prospects for the United States economy. The surplus estimates were driven by trends in underlying factors -- important issues such as the demographics of the labor force, the rate of national savings, and growth of productivity levels in output per worker.

John Kerry

This January, once again, our Congressional Budget Office produced new estimates on what to expect over the next ten years. The economists projected the economy would grow at a rate of 2.4 percent in 2001, a full half a point higher than CBO had anticipated for 2001 in its budget outlook written only three years ago. Nevertheless, we find ourselves dealing with ten-year surplus projections not of $600 billion, but $5.6 trillion. From 1998 to 2001, the Congressional Budget Office increased its ten-year surplus projections by 5 trillion dollars. Allow me to repeat that statement. In three short years, the Congressional Budget Office has increased its ten-year surplus projections by 5 trillion dollars.

It begs the question, what has led the Congressional Budget Office to increase surplus projections by such a tremendous amount over the last three years? Is it the result of deficit reduction measures? Absolutely not. Over the past three years, discretionary spending has grown by an average rate of well over 4 percent. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 slowed the growth of Medicare, but Social Security and Medicaid spending continue to increase.

Today, the same economists that predicted a 10-year surplus of $600 billion in 1998 have changed their assumptions regarding the economy's ability to grow. They assume that productivity growth will continue at levels far exceeding levels attained from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s. They assume that productivity growth will be well above its average over the last 50 years.

Yet, productivity levels already show signs of weakening. Productivity has dropped steadily since last summer. In the first quarter of this year, productivity recorded its first decline since 1995.

A surplus projection centered on an assumption that productivity growth will hold at the levels achieved over the last five years is not a conservative projection, and it is certainly not the stone on which Congress should engrave the largest nominal tax cut it has ever contemplated and bet the future of the US economy.

Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office acknowledges as much in their report. Their economists go to great lengths to warn of the pitfalls and dangers of budget forecasting. The January report devotes 24 pages to this very topic. Under one specific scenario modeled by CBO, their economists examine what would happen if the economy reverted to pre- 1996 conditions, specifically, if: (1) productivity growth averages its historical rate of 1.5 percent, (2) Medicare and Medicaid spending grow a mere 1 percent faster than the baseline, and (3) increases in personal tax liabilities from phenomena such as recent capital gains realizations gradually fall to historical levels. In this instance, they estimate the budget surplus would fall from $5.6 trillion to $1.6 trillion. A full, four trillion dollars would be eliminated.

That scenario is far from a "doomsday" scenario. It simply assumes that productivity growth falls to historic levels, Medicare and Medicaid spending increase 1 percent, and capital gains realizations fall to historic levels. And it reduces the surplus by four trillion dollars.

Now I say to my colleagues, there is another piece of the surplus puzzle that just doesn't fit and that is the spending assumptions. Over the past 20 years, the difference in projected spending in the Congressional budget resolution for the next fiscal year and the actual amount of spending for the next fiscal year has averaged 3.3 percent. In other words, spending for fiscal year 2002 will probably be off by about 3.3 percent from the level anticipated in the budget resolution. Thus, with a $1.9 trillion budget, we're likely to be off by about $60 billion. And that's just next year.

Looking at the out-years, spending assumptions can be wildly inaccurate. Medicare spending is rising again, it increased by 3 percent in 2000. According to CBO, "Historically, Medicare's growth rate has varied widely, and such fluctuations are likely to continue." In 2000, Medicaid grew 2 percent faster than CBO projected. In addition, minor upturns in inflation can result in major spending increases because many mandatory program benefits, such as Social Security, are linked to the consumer price index. And we have yet to adequately address all of the problems the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 created for Medicare.

On the discretionary side, since the end of President Reagan's last term, domestic nondefense outlays have increased at a rate of 6 percent a year, those are our investments in education, the environment, transportation, children and other priorities. Much of that increase was balanced by declining defense expenditures. That's about to change. Does anyone really believe that a budget resolution which assumes that discretionary spending will rise at the rate of inflation over the next ten years is honest budgeting? Judging by the votes during Senate floor consideration of the budget resolution, it's not about to begin today.

Now let's take a look at what happens to the surplus if we make a much more realistic assumption about spending. For example, maybe we will lower nondefense spending growth from the 6 percent averaged since the end of Reagan's term to 5 percent. Let's give ourselves the benefit of the doubt and assume that the defense build-up leads to increases in defense of only 5 percent per year. Thus, discretionary spending increases 5 percent a year over the next 10 years. In effect, with lost interest savings, we would wipe out more than $1.1 trillion of the projected surplus.

So first we have a potential situation in which our 10-year surplus, due to faulty economic assumptions, has fallen from $5.6 trillion to $1.6 trillion. When we then figure in honest and realistic projections regarding spending growth, our actual 10-year surplus has now been reduced from 5.6 trillion to $500 billion. We have wiped out all of the Medicare surplus and we have wiped out about 80 percent of the Social Security surplus, and we still have not calculated the cost of the tax cut or Social Security reform.

Now combine that scenario with the tax cut before us. We are about to enact a $1.35 trillion tax cut and at the same time, we have done nothing to deal with fundamental issues resulting from mandatory spending and the retirement of the Baby Boom generation. Moreover, there exists the very real possibility that we will return to the days of deficit spending and ballooning federal debt.

And while it may make a nice sound bite to say that if we don't send the surplus back to the American people in a tax cut, Congress will waste it, no one can make that argument with a straight face unless they are willing to set forth a real plan to deal with the fundamental issues facing Social Security and Medicare. Our President has yet to submit a Social Security or Medicare reform plan and I don't see one on the schedule in the Ways and Means Committee or the Finance Committee.

Social Security's trustees reported in March that Social Security's tax income will fall short of Social Security's benefit payments beginning in 2016. Medicare's tax income will fall short of Medicare spending the same year. Social Security and Medicare's problems are related to the aging of the labor force. In the not-to-distant future, there will be too few workers in the workforce to maintain Social Security and Medicare as pay-as-you-go programs. These are not small problems.

In the case of Social Security, Congress will have to either reduce Social Security benefits, raise Social Security taxes, or find a third alternative. Individual accounts, partial privatization, or investment of Social Security funds in the stock market, even under the best of circumstances, regardless of how they are structured, will require use of large-scale additional funds to ensure that current and near retirees will not be penalized. But under the scenario I have outlined, there would be no General Treasury funds available and Social Security surpluses over the next ten years would be eliminated.

The same issues apply to Medicare. The Congressional budget resolution sets aside $300 billion in a Medicare Reserve Fund. However, that $300 billion is needed just to finance a decent prescription drug benefit. In addition, there will be substantial costs associated with reforming Medicare. This year's Trustees' Report showed that health care costs per capita will rise. But as I have demonstrated, the tax cut would place Medicare surpluses in jeopardy.

Dealing with the Social Security and Medicare's financial problems sooner rather than later minimizes the pain for beneficiaries and workers by allowing the government to address transitional costs before the problem reaches the breaking point.

Congress should be acting in a fiscally responsible way by addressing Social Security and Medicare's long-term problems while we have the opportunity, while the Federal government is operating under surpluses and not deficits.

Turning to the actual tax cut before us, regardless of how you feel about the bill's specific provisions, one glaring problem flows from the fact that most of the bill's provisions will not take effect for several years.

According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the cost of the bill in 2011 will exceed the cost of the tax bill in the first three years combined. By the time we reach 2011, the cost of the Chairman's proposed tax cut will approach nearly $200 billion per year.

The most obvious example is the bill's estate tax relief provisions. Over the next five years, the bill would provide a total of $36 billion in estate tax relief. However, the bill does not actually repeal the estate tax until the year 2011, and, therefore, the revenue hit resulting from repeal of the estate tax will not actually occur until 2012, so its impact does not even appear in the revenue tables.

Thus, the bill repeals the estate tax in the same year that the Baby Boom generation will begin retire. Is that fiscal responsibility? The stark reality is that the cost of the tax cut will arrive just when we are least able to afford it.

To make matters worse, because many of the bill's provisions will not take effect until the second five years, the costs of the tax bill escalates at a time when surplus estimates are the most unreliable, towards the end. And by back-loading the bill, we are ensuring that the costs of the tax cut will rise just when surpluses are most unreliable and our fiscal problems related to the aging of the population are truly emerging.

Finally, I say to my colleague, by passing this tax cut, we are effectively ensuring that the Federal debt will stop falling and start rising again. Under the Congressional Budget Office's January baseline, Federal debt, i.e., debt held by the public as well as debt owed to Federal trust funds such as Social Security and Medicare, will fall in each of the next five years. However, under the budget resolution Congress passed last week, Federal debt would soon be on the rise again. Even if you accept their assumptions about spending and the economy, after five years, Federal debt will be $600 billion higher than the CBO baseline. Over the full ten years of the budget resolution, Federal debt would increase by over $1 trillion, from $5.6 trillion in 2001 to $6.7 trillion in 2011.

And by using unrealistic economic and spending assumptions, as I have shown, they are ensuring that debt held by the public will rise. From 1969 to 1997, debt held by the public increased every year. Over the past three years, we reversed that trend. From 1997 through 2000, the Federal government retired $360 billion of debt held by the public. In the early 1990s, by enacting a real deficit reduction program, we were able to completely change the course of interest rates, inflation, and the economy.

Reducing publicly held debt means the government is buying back bonds, thereby freeing capital in private sector financial markets. As Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan noted in Congressional testimony earlier this year, "a declining level of Federal debt is desirable because it holds down long-term real interest rates, thereby lowering the cost of capital and elevating private investment." Paying down publicly held debt results in lower interest rates and lower inflation. The result is lower home mortgage rates and lower auto loan rates for every American.

Paying down debt has also helped finance a high level of private sector investment at a time when personal savings rates are declining. By buying back bonds, more capital is available in domestic markets. It is that simple.

John Kerry

But under the tax cut we have before us today, the ability to reduce publicly held debt will be strained. Their numbers make unrealistic assumptions about the economy and unrealistic assumptions about spending. While only time will tell, I fear we are moving down the wrong path, one that reverses the progress made over the last eight years.

I acknowledge that the Chairman and Ranking Member have made great strides to ensure that their bill will benefit a broad spectrum of Americans. I particularly appreciate the fact that they included a $70 billion provision that Senators Snowe, Lincoln and I requested which will ensure that an additional 16 million children benefit from the expanded child credit.

Nevertheless, for all of the reasons I have outlined, I believe the evidence is clear, the long-term consequences of the proposed tax reduction will set back our economy and our nation. I want tax relief, but I don't believe in doing it at the expense of fiscal discipline. And that is why I would urge my colleagues to vote against this agreement, we can and should do better.

Paul Sarbanes

Mr. President, I rise today in opposition to the tax reconciliation legislation pending before the Senate. Unfortunately, this tax bill spends vast sums of money, based on shaky economic forecasts, and disguises its true cost by phasing in most of its tax relief far into the future. As a result, this legislation poses a real risk to our Nation's fiscal health without providing the tax relief Americans have been promised for years to come.

Let me begin by clearly stating that I am not opposed to responsible tax relief. I believe we can craft a fiscally responsible tax cut that does not endanger our economy and provides meaningful tax relief, including targeted measures, a component of across-the-board reductions, and an economic stimulus package.

That being said, I must oppose the massive tax bill before the Senate today for several reasons. Foremost among them is my deep concern that, if we pass this legislation, we will be repeating the mistake we made in 1981 and squandering the fiscal security we have worked so hard to achieve. In 1981, Congress complied with the President's request for a large tax cut. The Nation felt the negative effects of that tax cut for more than a decade, as Federal deficits grew and the national debt exploded. It took the country nearly 20 years to recover from that tax cut, and move from a period of record budget deficits, to economic prosperity and budget surpluses.

Today, we again have an opportunity to shape the course of our country for the better, and part of that course should include responsible tax cuts. I have supported proposals to devote a full third of our projected non-Social Security surplus, approximately $900 billion, to tax relief. It is my strong belief that we should devote a full third of the surplus to paying down our national debt. Simply put, if we don't take measures to reduce the debt in times of surplus, when will we? The remaining third of the surplus is needed to address the priorities I hear from the Marylanders I meet every day, access to healthcare, education, a prescription drug benefit in Medicare, protecting Social Security, enforcing our Nation's laws, addressing rising energy costs, and on and on.

A $1.35 trillion tax cut will not allow us to act on these crucial areas, particularly when it is based on a highly speculative ten-year forecast of our Nation's future revenues. This bill is based on economic projections of a $2.6 trillion non-Social Security surplus. That surplus is not cash-in-hand being held by the Federal Government, it is a prediction that in the future this money will materialize. Based on that prediction, the tax bill would spend $1.35 trillion over the next ten years, despite a national debt of more than $5.6 trillion, or $20,227.19 for every man, woman, and child in our country.

I believe it is unwise to base such a massive tax cut on projected income that may never come to pass. The serious limitations of economic projections are clearly illustrated by recent experience: just six years ago, in January 1995, the Congressional Budget Office projected that we would finish the year 2000 with a $342 billion deficit. Instead, we saw a surplus of $236 billion, a swing of $578 billion. In fact, most of the projected surplus over the next 10 years is expected to occur in the outyears, when projections are the most uncertain: Almost 70 percent of the non-Social Security surplus is projected to occur in 2007-2011, the last 5 years of the projection period. I believe it would be the height of folly to commit these uncertain surpluses to large, permanent tax cuts, as this tax bill does.

While I am concerned about tax reductions amounting to $1.35 trillion, the cost of the tax bill this decade, I am even more disturbed by the exploding cost of these tax measures in years to come. The authors of this legislation have employed a variety of tactics to disguise the true cost of the bill. Most significantly, the various tax cuts provided by this legislation are slowly phased in over ten years to keep costs under the $1.35 trillion maximum dictated by the budget resolution. Other provisions granting tax relief actually expire in the middle of the ten-year period covered by the bill.

I am opposed to such shell games that hide the true cost of this legislation for two reasons. First, the American public is being promised tax relief and likely doesn't understand that the changes which may benefit them the most will not arrive for years to come. Whatever your own tax cut priority, odds are it will not be realized for a long time. Marriage penalty relief does not begin until the year 2005. The final rate cut in the upper income tax brackets does not occur until 2007. The increase in the child credit to $1,000 does not take effect until 2011. The full increase in IRA contribution limits and the repeal of the estate tax do not take effect until 2011.

In addition to this extreme backloading of costs, this tax legislation actually "sunsets" several important provisions in order to hold down costs. Most of the alternative minimum tax, or "AMT", relief provided in the bill is actually eliminated in 2006. As a result, the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT would explode this decade to nearly 40 million taxpayers by 2011, more than 25 times the number of Americans now affected by the AMT. Provisions aimed at encouraging small businesses to fund employee pensions expire in 2006. And deductions for education expenses end in 2005.

The American people have been sold this bill as providing all of this relief, and have not been told how long they are going to have to wait to get it, and that it is not actually permanent relief. Even more importantly, such accounting gimmicks disguise the real cost that this legislation will impose on our Nation. The true cost of this package will rise to anywhere from $3.5 trillion to $4 trillion over ten years once it is fully implemented, which coincidentally occurs right at the time the baby boomers retire. If we enact this drastic cut, where will we find the resources to meet the needs of an aging population? How will we invest in national priorities like education, a well-prepared military, and a prescription drug benefit in Medicare? I strongly believe that we cannot enact such a huge tax cut, based on shaky economic forecasts, that will consume such a vast amount of resources just as our Nation's need is the greatest.

Finally, I believe it is worth noting who receives the benefits of this tax reconciliation bill. As I have said before, I am not opposed to a component of across-the-board tax relief. For example, the new 10 percent tax bracket created in this bill would benefit all Americans who pay taxes, including those with the highest incomes in our country. I would also support legislation to ease the marriage penalty and significantly increase the estate tax exemption so that our families can pass on more to future generations.

However, a disproportionate percentage of the benefits of this legislation is given to the wealthiest in our country. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, thirty-five percent of the benefits of this tax bill goes to the richest one percent of taxpayers -- who have an average income of $1,117,000. While they get 35 percent of the benefits of this bill, that top one percent of taxpayers pays only 20 percent of all Federal taxes.

In contrast, this legislation fails to provide tax relief for many of our Nation's hardest-working taxpayers. The tax bill we are considering today provides no tax relief to the many American families who pay no income taxes, but who pay substantial payroll taxes. These low-income workers have not benefitted from our Nation's booming economy in recent years. Between 1992 and 1998, the bottom 95 percent of Americans experienced an eight percent rise in their after-tax incomes, while the top one percent of taxpayers saw their after-tax income increase by 47 percent. We should find some way to give those workers who have not participated in our recent economic prosperity, but still pay substantial payroll taxes, the relief they so desperately need.

Nonetheless, some will argue that wealthy Americans pay more taxes and, therefore, deserve a larger tax cut. That may be true if only the dollar amount of the tax cut is considered, but the tax bill we are debating gives a larger percentage of its tax cuts to high-income Americans. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, this tax bill, when fully phased in, will increase the after-tax income of the richest one percent of Americans by an average of five percent. In contrast, the bill will increase the after-tax income of the middle fifth of American taxpayers by only 2.2 percent, and the poorest 20 percent of families in our country will see their income increase by only 0.8 percent. Therefore, this legislation would increase the after- tax income of our richest Americans more than twice as fast as those in the middle class, and six times faster than families in the bottom 20 percent of the income scale. Clearly, this bill denies middle-class and lower-income Americans tax relief in order to benefit the wealthiest in our country.

I believe that by passing this tax bill we will throw away an unprecedented opportunity to develop a sound fiscal policy for our Nation. We have an unparalleled opportunity to pay down the Nation's debt, to invest in our future, and to shore up vital programs. If we act prudently, we can ensure that the Federal government will have the resources to meet our obligations after the baby boomers retire and beyond. We can do a reasonable tax cut in response to the problems confronting working families all across the Nation, and we can do all this in a very balanced way. Because this legislation would squander our best chance for investing in America's future, lifting the debt burden off the next generation, and providing a reasonable tax cut for our working families, I strongly oppose this excessive tax bill and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

Mr. President, I rise today to oppose the tax reconciliation bill being considered by the Senate today. I believe Vermonters and all Americans deserve tax relief, but we need to have a fiscally responsible tax package that benefits everyone. We do not need one that is so large, so likely to result once again in budget deficits, so full of budgetary gimmicks, and so skewed toward the wealthy.

If we are serious about passing a tax cut bill to provide needed relief to all Americans we should be lowering the tax rate for low- and medium-income people, making the child tax credit fully refundable, eliminating the marriage penalty tax immediately, creating an R&D tax credit, increasing IRA and pension contributions, and allowing for greater college tuition credits. Unfortunately, we are delaying all of these important tax relief components in order to shoehorn a massive rate reduction for the wealthiest Americans into this bill. It also pays for this massive tax plan at the expense of needed investments in Social Security, Medicare, education, the environment, and paying off the national debt.

I am one of five Senators still in the Senate who voted against the Reagan tax plan in 1981. We saw what happened there: We had a huge tax cut, defense spending boomed, and the national debt quadrupled. The tax plan was popular but it was wrong. America should not move backward in that direction.

This tax plan is too large. I voted for a responsible tax cut plan targeted to help the low- and medium-income people of this country who need tax relief the most. The $900 billion alternative I supported offered immediate tax refund checks to help boost the economy and help Americans pay for higher gasoline and energy prices, rate reductions for all income taxpayers, marriage penalty relief to start immediately, a partially refundable child tax credit, tuition tax deductibility to make college more affordable for middle class families and a major effort to modernize our public schools, a comprehensive package of retirement savings incentives to increase IRA and pension contributions and encourage small business to set up pension funds for their employees, a permanent extension of the $10,000 adoption tax credit, health insurance deduction for the self-employed, responsible estate tax relief, a permanent R&D tax credit, and elimination of the alternative minimum tax, AMT, for people with income up to $80,000. Unfortunately, the majority refused to seriously consider this offer to provide reasonable tax relief to working men and women and their families.

This tax plan is not fiscally responsible. We should keep in mind the inherent risks of forecasting budget surpluses ten years into the future. The President has argued that the surplus will be around $1.6 trillion and that all of that should go toward tax cuts. And most of the tax cuts in this bill come in the second 5 years of the 10-year plan. Setting aside the argument of how to spend that much money, is it really available? The predictions used to calculate $1.6 trillion were based on the U.S. economy expanding at an annual rate of 4 percent from 2000-2010. I think we know from the current economic slowdown that our economy is growing nowhere near 4 percent, if at all, right now. That is a big yellow flag that these assumptions are wrong. Focusing on budget predictions 10 years in the future is exceptionally risky and does not allow businesses and individuals to properly plan long-term.

This tax plan does not address our enormous Federal debt. Whatever surplus our Nation now enjoys should be used to pay down the $5.7 trillion gross Federal debt burden our country still carries. The Federal Government has to pay almost $900 million in interest every working day on this national debt. Paying off our debt will help sustain our sound economy by keeping interest rates low. I want to leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren of a debt-free Nation.

This tax plan is slanted toward the wealthiest among us. The original tax plan proposed by the President provides nearly half of that $1.6 trillion tax cut to the wealthiest in our country. We are sacrificing real tax relief to working families in this country for rate reductions to the wealthy. We should focus on enacting a responsible plan that will benefit the broadest number of people by reducing taxes to low- and medium-income people. By focusing only on income tax rate reductions, this tax cut plan leaves out millions of taxpayers who do not pay Federal income taxes but who do pay payroll taxes. In Vermont, there are 23,000 families who do not pay Federal income taxes. But 82 percent of those families do pay payroll taxes. For the vast majority of taxpayers, payroll taxes generate the largest tax burden, and yet this plan does not touch payroll taxes.

This tax plan has not been thoroughly reviewed and is full of budgetary gimmicks designed to mask the true effects of the bill. There are many unforeseen consequences of this tax bill that we should take into account before enacting this massive tax cut. However, with Republicans pushing to get this bill done by Memorial Day, there is great pressure to ram through a $1.35 trillion tax cut without a full review of all the proposals.

States that tie their State tax returns to Federal returns are going to be hurt by the lost Federal revenues. Vermont's tax system is one of three in the nation in which taxpayers use their Federal tax bill to calculate their State income taxes. It is a simple system, but it is affected by every little tax change at the Federal level. In effect, a massive Federal tax cut leads to a massive State tax cut. According to Vermont State economists, the State stands to lose $506 million over the next ten years because of this tax bill. In FY 2002 alone, Vermont will lose $35.7 million. The conservative Heritage Foundation has estimated that Vermont may lose up to $1.5 billion because of this huge tax cut. This is a very large amount of money for a State whose population is only 609,000. How will the State make up these lost revenues?

Vermont was hurt 20 years ago when Congress last considered a massive tax cut. Those rewrites to the Federal Tax Code put the State in red ink for years. As the red ink grew, an emergency tax study group assembled by the Governor found that between 1982 and 1987 the State stood to lose $300 million because of the Reagan tax cut. Now we will be putting Vermont back in a similar situation. As our Governor has already warned, without raising State taxes to make up for Federal loses, Vermont will once again see major deficits.

This tax bill also asks States to pay for repealing the Federal estate tax by abruptly ending payments from Federal estate tax revenue that are now shared with the States. This bill will cut by half the Federal credit that States receive for the Federal estate taxes that are collected and will deny States between $50 billion and $100 billion over 10 years, or as much as two-thirds of the cost of the estate tax repeal in the bill.

Another anomaly of this bill is the way the AMT is calculated. While Democrats hoped to exempt people who make under $100,000 from AMT permanently, Republicans only want to slightly increase the exemption for 4 years from 2002 to 2006. The Republican plan would cause 39.6 million taxpayers to be subject to the AMT by 2011. Clearly this flies in the face of the original intent of the AMT, which was to ensure that wealthy taxpayers cannot make use of tax breaks to eliminate much or all of their tax liability. The tax bill will force more and more middle-class taxpayers to pay a tax that was meant to reach very few, well-off taxpayers.

I do not like the marriage penalty and think it is poor public policy. While this bill does contain two provisions designed to provide marriage penalty relief, it makes couples wait 5 years for that relief. While the rate cuts in upper-income tax brackets take effect next year, married couples will have to wait until 2005 to get relief and until 2010 until full repeal is fully phased in. This is 3 years after the upper income bracket rate cuts are fully effective.

After years of hard choices, we have balanced the budget and started building surpluses. Now we must make responsible choices for the future. Our top priorities should be paying off the national debt, saving Social Security, creating a real Medicare prescription drug benefit, protecting domestic spending programs, and passing a fair and responsible tax cut.

This tax bill falls far short of these priorities. It uses gimmicks to hide the bill's true costs. It provides no marriage penalty relief for five years. It contains no immediate tax refund to stimulate the economy. It has a hidden tax increase on the middle-class through the AMT. And its costs explode after 10 years, just as the baby boom generation begins to retire. For the sake of our economy and the working families of America, I will vote against this tax cut bill.

Mr. President, the budget resolution, including the tax bill which has passed the Senate, will almost surely push us back into the deficit ditch. The tax bill was rushed through before the President makes his request for additional defense funds, before the tax writing committees adopt additional provisions which we all know are forthcoming to extend current tax provisions, before the tax writing committees act to avoid the calamity which will befall 40 million people who will be forced to pay an alternative minimum tax as a result of this tax bill. That's twice the number that will be paying alternative minimum taxes by 2011 under current law. This fiscally irresponsible tax bill was pushed through before the review of the projected surplus which is due in August, and also before the appropriations bills are reported, which everyone here knows will exceed the domestic discretionary spending cap provided for in the budget resolution. The final result of all this fiscal irresponsibility will almost surely be the raiding of the Medicare surplus and a return to the deficit days of the 1980s.

I support a tax cut, a reduction in taxes which is modest enough to be fiscally responsible, swift enough to provide an economic stimulus, and fair to all Americans, including working families who are so shortchanged by the Republican proposal. The bill passed today is the opposite. Its large size makes it fiscally irresponsible, it actually delays tax relief, and it provides most of its benefit to the upper income Americans. It is based on long-term surplus projections which history shows to be highly speculative making this bill dangerous to our economic future. Finally, it is being catapulted through the Senate, exploiting a process which severely limits debate and which was never intended for tax reduction legislation of this size.

Although this bill is advertised as a $1.35 trillion tax bill, it's true cost is closer to $2 trillion. It fails to account for the cost of real Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) reform. In fact, under this legislation, by 2011, nearly 40 million taxpayers will have to pay the AMT, including many middle income taxpayers. It ignores the fact that tens and perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars worth of additional spending, over ten years, will be required to live up to the President's goals for defense and education, and to provide for urgent domestic needs this Senate knows it is going to support.

This tax bill takes us back to the bad old days of backloaded tax breaks whose real costs explode several years after enactment. Although it technically sunsets its provisions in 2011 to meet the requirements of the Byrd Rule, the changes in the tax code which it makes, such as the repeal of the estate tax, are clearly intended to be permanent. The cost of these changes explode immediately beyond the ten-year "window". In fact, the bill's claimed $1.35 trillion price tag could triple in the second ten years. This budgetary time bomb is set go off at roughly the same time as the bill begins to come due for Medicare and Social Security. That is the time the "baby boomers" begin to retire and we must begin to draw down the Social Security Trust fund.

This tax bill is based on highly speculative long-term projections. Projections are always risky. We have seen many Federal budget estimates, and we know well that as quickly as these surpluses appeared, they could disappear. This bill is based on projections of surpluses for ten years downstream. History has shown that CBO projections for even five years into the future have been off over the past decade by an average of more than 100 percent.

The massive tax cut which the Senate has passed threatens to lead us back into the deficit ditch. We just climbed out of that ditch. And we shouldn't head there again, particularly when the country is saddled with a national debt that resulted from the last binge of deficits. The current national debt is $5.6 trillion. Based on the Budget Resolution which the Senate recently adopted and based on this tax cut, the national debt at the end of the next ten years will have increased to $6.7 trillion. If the projected surpluses do in fact materialize, we should be using them mainly to pay down the national debt instead of increasing that debt with a big tax cut.

Carl Levin

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan introduced his Economic Recovery Tax Act which included huge tax cuts and predictions that the budget would be balanced by 1984. In 1981, I opposed that supply side economic approach because I was convinced that it would lead to huge deficits. We did indeed pay dearly for the debt which resulted from that legislation. In 1992, the annual deficit in the federal budget had reached $290 billion. The remarkable progress which since then has brought us to our current surpluses came about in large part as a result of the deficit reduction package which President Clinton presented in 1993, and which the Senate and House each passed by a margin of one vote. We should not now be passing an imprudent tax bill like the one before us, and head back toward new future deficits.

Although the tax cut is irresponsibly large, the economic impact will be remarkably small, because the bill before us does not contain the $85 billion economic stimulus adopted in the Senate-passed budget resolution. Only $33 billion is allocated for tax relief this year. The bill is extensively back-loaded: it doesn't start marriage penalty relief -- the doubling of the standard deduction and the expansion of the 15 percent bracket -- until 2006. IRA contribution limits aren't fully phased in until 2011. The Child Credit isn't fully phased in until 2011. The delay in relief actually shifts the responsibility of paying for our excess onto the next generation.

The relief provided in the bill isn't equitable. There is no tax relief for the 25 million taxpaying Americans that pay their federal taxes through the payroll tax. And it means too little to taxpayers in the 15 percent bracket, who will see no reduction in their marginal tax rate, while those in the top 1 percent receive nearly $40,000 worth of relief. In fact overall, the top 1 percent, earning an average of more than a million dollars a year, will receive about 35 percent of the benefits under this tax legislation.

I am also deeply troubled by the process which has brought us to this point. We considered this legislation under special rules contained in the Budget Act for a process called "reconciliation". This process is being misused to steamroll this bill through the Senate. By restricting a Senator's right to fully debate and amend this bill -- no more than twenty hours of debate is permitted and the amendment process is severely constrained -- the majority puts the Senate in a straightjacket. A similar oppressive tactic was used earlier when the majority bypassed the Budget Committee to bring the Budget Resolution to the Senate floor and when they excluded Democrats from the Conference Committee in order to write the reconciliation instructions which are being used to shield this legislation from full debate and amendment. This process is a rush to judgment which does damage to the institution of the Senate and its reputation for deliberation. And, it does this damage to promote a massive tax bill which will negatively affect the economic well-being of Americans for decades to come.

This Administration argues that the projected surplus should be returned to the tax payers because it is their money. Of course it is their money. But the economy is all of ours too. Social Security belongs to all of us. The Medicare program belongs to all of us. Our education program and helping people through college, belongs to all of us. And, of course, the national debt belongs to all of us as well. We owe it to the American people to reject this imprudent tax cut in order to pay down that national debt and to strengthen our commitment to those programs that the American people want. We can do that consistent with a targeted, modest, prudent tax cut. Unless it is improved in the Conference with the House, which is not likely, we should defeat this massive, unfair, imprudent tax cut bill when it returns to the Senate.

Mr. President, it is unfortunate that the Republican leadership has interrupted the Senate's action on landmark education reform legislation in order to expedite action on their massive tax cut bill. It demonstrates once more that education is not a real priority for our Republican colleagues. Their only priority is tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts.

The Republican position could not be clearer: Education can wait while we rush to give away hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks for the wealthy. In Republican priorities, the needs of the wealthiest taxpayers for new tax breaks rank far higher than the needs of America's school children.

Across America, 12 million children are disadvantaged in our education system, but we currently provide the full range of title I Federal education services to only one in three of these children. The rest are left to fend for themselves, with the most overcrowded classrooms, the least amount of quality teacher time, the most outdated textbooks and learning tools, and the most inadequate facilities.

Ted Kennedy

Students with disabilities suffer from the same federal neglect. The Federal Government has long promised to fund 40 percent of special education. Yet it still only funds 17 percent, less than half of what was promised. Parents of millions of disabled children are forced to struggle in the States every year for the education that their children deserve. For years, states have called on the Federal Government to live up to its commitment to students with special needs. Yet the Republican budget, and the tax cut that follows from it, say no.

Instead, one of every three dollars of the tax breaks in the bill before us will go to the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers. Once the tax breaks are fully implemented, the richest 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of $37,000 each year -- more than most families take home from work in an entire year.

Mr. President, $37,000 a year could pay the salary of a new teacher in most school districts. But if this tax bill passes, there won't be funds for new teachers. Our Republican colleagues in Congress have decided that wealthy taxpayers need the money more.

The tax cut is clearly excessive. It is neither fair nor affordable. No wonder the Republican leadership is attempting to force a final vote in Congress as soon as possible, before public outrage builds.

Ted Kennedy

Through the use of smoke and mirrors and budget gimmicks, the bill technically complies with the mandate of the budget resolution to report a tax bill costing $1.35 trillion over eleven years. But the real costs are far higher. The real costs of this bill explode in the outyears. It does not conform with the clear intent expressed by a majority of Senators to substantially reduce the size of the Bush tax cut.

Most disturbing of all is the extreme use of backloading to conceal the enormous cost of these tax cuts when they take full effect. The rate reduction is not fully implemented until the year 2007. Marriage penalty tax relief does not even begin until the year 2005. The amount of the child credit does not reach the full $1000 until the year 2011. The estate tax is not repealed until the year 2011 as well, so that almost none of the cost of the repeal shows up until the year 2012.

Ted Kennedy

These tactics are the height of fiscal irresponsibility. The excessive cost of the tax breaks in the first 10 years is bad enough. But that cost will triple in the following 10 years. A $1.35 trillion tax cut in the first 10 years will mushroom to more than $4 trillion in the next 10 years, precisely when the Nation will confront unprecedented additional costs for Medicare and Social Security because of the retirement of the baby boom generation. Funds urgently needed to strengthen these basic programs are being denied by these reckless tax cuts.

Ted Kennedy

Democrats support a substantial tax cut, one that would cost nearly a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, and that would give working families a fair share of the tax benefits. But this Republican bill does not deserve to be enacted. It is far too costly, and it fails to provide significant tax relief to those who need help the most.

Ted Kennedy

It is clear that the nation cannot afford this tax cut without seriously neglecting America's most important priorities, including education. To meet our basic education needs, I will propose an amendment making reduction in the top marginal income tax rate contingent upon funding education at the levels that the Senate has already voted to support during our consideration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. If we do not have adequate resources to provide all students with a quality education, then we certainly do not have the resources needed to provide new tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

Fewer than 1 percent of taxpayers have incomes high enough to be affected by the top income bracket. These are the richest men and women in America. The $120 billion in tax breaks contained exclusively for them in this misguided bill should not take priority over the support for education that the Senate has already agreed is necessary. Support for basic education deserves higher priority than lavish new tax breaks for the wealthiest citizens.

Joe Biden

I must vote against this tax bill because it does not honestly face the serious choices that still confront us in this era of surpluses, because it sacrifices virtually all other priorities -- and some of our fundamental values -- to the single-minded pursuit of cutting taxes.

Despite what some would have us believe, we cannot afford to do everything for everybody all at the same time. We cannot cut taxes by nearly 2 trillion dollars in the next ten years -- a number that actually doubles in the following decade -- and continue to provide the fundamental governmental functions that Americans need and deserve.

If we are honest about the real costs of this tax cut, Mr. President, we would admit that on top of the $1.35 trillion sticker cost, we have to add $300 billion in additional interest payments that come from not paying down the national debt.

If we admit that we will have to reform the Alternative Minimum Tax that will soon hit millions of Americans, we have to add another $300 billion to its cost. Because history shows that we will extend the Research and Development tax credit and other popular and useful breaks that we have always supported in the past, we can add another $100 billion to the size of the tax cut.

First, it is based on some assumptions we all know are just not true. If we can, let's just leave aside for a moment how well we can project the future of this economy -- that problem alone has proved every other long-term surplus projection we have ever made wrong by hundreds of billions of dollars.

The second reason the projections have to be wrong is that they assume we will cut the size of government in our country by 25 percent over the next ten years. As a share of the economy, our federal government is already the lowest it has been since 1960. There are plenty of reasons to believe that we will not be able to cut it by another 25 percent.

Our surplus projections do not account for increases in our population or increases in the cost of living over the next decade -- incredible as it may sound, they do not. If we put those two basic budgeting concepts back into our assumptions, that subtracts as much as $640 billion from the surpluses.

The new defense plan could add perhaps $250 billion, and a full-blown missile defense plan that covered every option the President has expressed an interest in covering could be another $100 billion. So prudence suggests we should show some of those costs in the budgets for the next ten years.

If we follow the Administration's approach to Social Security reform, we will need an additional trillion dollars. But there will be no money left.

Joe Biden

Why are we left with so little for so many of our fundamental needs? Why, when we have finally brought our budgets into balance after years of deficits, can we not afford to pay for these essential priorities that we all agree deserve our support?

Joe Biden

Because this tax cut was not designed as part of a comprehensive budget plan. If it becomes law for the next decade, it will be the only real priority in our budget. Every other priority, from defense to education -- and even, I am afraid, balanced budgets -- will be only an afterthought.

That is why I will vote against this tax bill. It costs too much; it depends too much on wishful thinking; it ignores realities that are staring us in the face over the next ten years.

We tried to amend this bill to fix the problems I have discussed. Senator McCain offered an amendment to scale back the size of the tax cut to make room in our budget for the projected increases in defense spending. That prudent statement of our national priorities was voted down.

Senator Harkin offered an amendment to simply hold off on a piece of the tax cut until we could certify that we can meet the long-term obligations of Social Security and Medicare. Once we could make that certification, every bit of the tax cut would go forward. That basic commitment to the promises we have made was voted down.

Senator Rockefeller offered an amendment to make sure we can afford to provide a prescription drug benefit for seniors before we cut taxes. It would not prevent a cent of the tax cut from going out -- as long as we could pay for a prescription drug benefit. That bipartisan priority, shared by the President, was voted down.

We can afford major tax relief for all Americans. And we can afford to provide the national security, the world-class education, the health care and the other priorities Americans have a right to expect. We can even afford a little fairness in the distribution of the many blessings we enjoy. We can afford to act on our values.
