brady: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm proud to be part of the coalition against the death tax in congress. this taxes our family farms and small businesses in america. and can you imagine working your whole life risking your money, your time, working the weekends to either build your family farm or to start your small business only to find out when you die uncle sam swoops in and takes nearly half of all you spent a lifetime building up, takes half of what you'd hoped to give to your children and grandchildren? that is the death tax in america. it is the wrong tax. it's the wrong people at exactly the wrong time. the only real solution to it is to fully permanently repeal it, to solve it once and for all, to give family farms, small businesses, women and minority owned businesses the piece of mind knowing they can hand down to their children a nest egg they've spent to build up. that's what republicans support. that is what we're going to vote for today, and it is time to bury the death tax once and for all. during th

brady: i yield myself 30 seconds. while i disagree with some of the assertions i very much appreciate the work that mr. pomeroy has done on this bill. it's an issue that concerns so many of us. i hope we can come together on a bipartisan compromise that can pass this house and for many of us whose our goal is full and permanent repeal of the death tax, i hope to work with him as well. with that i yield back the remainder of his time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from north dakota. mr. pomeroy: i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from north dakota yields back. pursuant to house resolution 941, the previous question is ordered on the bill. the question is on engrossment and third reading of the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: a bill to amend the internal revenue code of 1986 to repeal the new carryover basis rules in order to prevent tax increases and the imposition of compliance burdens on many more estates th

. >> good morning pt i want to congratulate steve squeezers, kevin brady and others on the leadership of bringing this to the floor. we have a situation where, once again, we see the democrats asking to incur more debt at the same time they are claiming to be fiscally responsible. another day where it is too as i say, not as i do. as steve just said, the american people are struggling right now. they expect washington to do what they do which is tighten the belt which is to try to live within our means if at all possible and stop this trend of spending money we don't have. if john q. public called his bank today with the kind of record that america has in terms of spending, if he calls his bank today with that and asks for another loan, yet almost 2 trillion-dollar loan the bank would hang up the phone. the taxpayers ought to do the same. >> i have been here three short years. we're looking at borrowing 43 cents out of every dollar. i was talking to a high school class the other day and they said what do you need in washington? i said in three years i hear we need to things: accountab

brady? >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome commissioner hall. the number of jobs lost is better than expected, which is good news. but we can't celebrate a 10% unemployment rate, especially when the long-term unemployment rate continues to grow in very troubling numbers. our economy continues to bounce along the bottom. retail was up slightly. temporary jobs were up slightly and health care, of course, continues to add jobs. but key sectors, manufacturing, construction and this month, information technology telecommunications shed jobs which i'll be asking you about, commissioner hall as well, because on the telecom side that surprised me a bit. i was pleased to see the president host a jobs summit. i still think there's a disconnect. as i listen to proposals from government spending, another $300 billion stimulus, too, the truth is the greatest hurdle to our recovery continues to be businesses reluctant to add new workers with washington contemplating higher health costs, more regulation and taxes. congress and this white house are frightening

brady: thank you, madam speaker. it is interesting to hear our democrat friend's newfound interest in paying for the war. that hasn't always been the case. here's what the current majority leader said on this house floor in 2004 when the debt limit was proposed to be raised and we were at war. now majority leader mr. hoyer said, raising the debt limit is immoral. this is disastrous consequence will cripple our future prosperity and hock future generations. this policy of sorrow and spend is not only irresponsible, it is immore and it -- immoral and it must stop. we are literally mortgaging our future. this is their words. not ours. the truth of the matter is, what we are voting on today is a down payment. a $2 trillion increase in our debt. two-step, $2 trillion increase in our debt. what it means for american families is that the day nancy pelosi took the gavel to become speaker of this house, every man, woman, and child in america owed $29,000 in debt. today as a result of this vote and next year's debt limit, ever

a constituent statement by judy brady of texas, district 31, on health care reform. i received this and i wanted to read it to the rest of the congress. you tell us that the government needs to control health care because the government can administer programs more cheaply and fairly than the private system. of course, recent studies show that nearly 10% of all medicare payments are fraudulent. why should we believe that government can do a better job with the entire nation's health care system than it already does with medicare? we ask you to leave health care in the hands of doctors and patients and that you help drive down the cost of insurance so that more of us can be covered. give us nationwide competition between insurance -- private insurers, allow us tax deductions for insurance we purchase and promote tort reform. don't force us into a government system that will cost us more and cover us less. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentlelady from pennsylvania rise? mrs. dahlkempe

when i see the leadership that steve and kevin brady have brought to this issue, at the end of an extraordinaryession of congress, they have not lost sight of the ball. we know we cannot spend and build our way out to a growing economy. -- bail our way out to a growing economy. families in our district are cutting back. they are looking for where they can find savings. they're looking for a second job to bring in more income. they see washington, d.c. literally going to the floor and on the backs of our soldiers, preparing to pass the debt limit increase that will raise the debt limit by $2 trillion. what democrats are doing here is essentially facing difficult times by raising the debt limit on their credit card. that is not what the american people are doing right now. the people in indiana, the people across this country are making the hard choices to put their own fiscal house in order and put their family budget in order. thanks to the leadership of those who are gathered here, house republicans have a better plan. we believe that enactment of the cap and debt act would provide the account
