                          TAX CUTS AND CREDITS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, we are on the final couple of weeks, the 
home stretch, with regard to our big, beautiful bill. There are going 
to be a lot of debates as to what we should do. Some people actually 
want to expand programs which, in our current crisis, is unbelievable 
for a Republican to do.
  However, I am going to address which tax cuts we have. Different tax 
cuts do different things. We have tax credits to encourage 
manufacturing. We have tax credits to encourage more work. We have tax 
credits to encourage more research. We have tax cuts to encourage more 
children.
  However, there are some people who want tax cuts to encourage State 
and local governments to spend more money and raise taxes.
  When I was home over the weekend, I talked to one of my county 
executives. He said: Glenn, don't let it happen.
  He is a conservative county executive, and he is trying to hold down 
the spending on the county level, and here the people in Washington are 
talking about encouraging more State and local taxes.
  Please, Mr. Speaker, stand up and fight. Do not encourage our State 
and local governments to raise taxes.
