THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Today I want to talk to you about some important policies affecting taxpayers and homeowners this holiday season.

But when Congress passed the AMT decades ago, it was not i...

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Today I am signing emergency legislation to fund the Federal government for the next seven weeks.
