                              THE ECONOMY

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I come to the floor having just listened 
to my colleague, the senior Senator from New York, the minority leader, 
talk about the upcoming efforts from the Republicans with regard to 
America's economy.
  And if you ask me what is the No. 1 goal of the legislation that is 
being proposed, it is we want to prevent a $4 trillion tax increase 
that will hit every working family in this country that the Democrats 
are for.
  So he goes on and on about different things in the bill. Let's get 
down to the purpose of the bill, and it is to prevent a $4 trillion tax 
increase that the Democrats support.
