                     WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE?

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, you know, Groucho Marx said years ago, Who 
are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
  I just have to wonder, Mr. Speaker, about the American people looking 
in this morning to hear Democrats talking about having cut taxes more 
than any other Congress in history.
  Let me see if we can do this. They passed a budget with record taxes 
and spending, will add $1 trillion to the national debt in the next 10 
years. They passed a national energy tax called the cap-and-trade that 
will cause utility rates to go up on small businesses and family farms 
and businesses across this country by hundreds of billions of dollars. 
And we just passed ObamaCare with $600 billion of tax increases. So now 
they're standing in front of the American people on the day before Tax 
Day, on the day before tens of millions of Americans are going to take 
to the street and say enough is enough, and expect you to believe that 
they've been cutting taxes.
  Well, I think the American people know better. I think the American 
people know what we really need here in Washington, DC, is less talk 
and more action. Let's cut taxes across the board for working families, 
small businesses, and family farms. Get government under control. Get 
government out of the way. This economy will come roaring back.
