President trumpets tax-break extensions

'We will leave close to $50 billion next year in the hands of the people who earned it,' he says.

Bush described the experience of a Clive family - Mike and Sharla Hintz and their children, ages 4 to 8 - to illustrate the benefits of the legislation he signed.

"Under all the tax relief we've passed, they saved about $2,800 last year. With this extra money, they bought a wood-burning stove to reduce their home heating costs," the president said.

"They also made home repairs and improvements. They took the family on a vacation to Minnesota. Next year when you get your check, you may want to come to Texas," he told them. "Without the tax bill I'm signing . . . the Hintzes would have paid $1,200 more in federal taxes next year." The credit would have fallen to $700.

Mike Hintz, youth pastor at First Assembly of God Church and a Republican, said afterward that he agreed with Bush: "Anytime you bring tax relief to taxpayers, they'll use it in a way that benefits the economy as a whole."

The president spoke later in the day at a campaign event in Clive, then returned to Washington.
