“spending the money that the taxpayers send to Washington more wisely is always a goal, and a goal to which Republicans seem to be more deeply devoted to than our friends on the Democrat side of the aisle. We can see that from the budget suggestions made by the two presidential candidates. Vice President Gore would propose to spend more money. We contend that we can meet many of the needs that the Vice President has in mind, but we can do it not by spending more of the people's money; we can do it by spending the money we currently do spend more wisely, and spend it in a way that is much smarter. Because spending more and more money in Washington, D.C., really is not the best way to stimulate positive economic growth. The point is the tax relief. If we really can reduce taxes on the American people by 29 cents, versus the measly 7 cents that the Vice President has proposed, what we know is that Americans do something better than government with money. They spend it wisely. They invest it wisely. They create more jobs. They create more wealth.”
