we are talking this week about the Federal budget. Senator Gregg, Senator Grassley, and others have pointed out, with appropriate response from the Senator from North Dakota, that in our belief we will wreck the Federal budget by raising taxes and increasing debt. At the same time we have an obligation on our side to say what our plan is, and we have a progrowth Republican plan which we have been detailing this week which focuses on lower taxes, less government, lower energy costs, making health insurance affordable for every American, without the Government choosing your doctor, support for better schools, the support for the kind of investments it takes to increase science and technology. That has been our plan. That has been our progrowth economic plan to help balance the family budget. So while they would wreck the Federal budget, we would help balance the family budget, and no part of that would be more important than dealing with energy costs. Energy costs to most American families worried about the family budget come down to $3.50 gasoline or electric bills that might be constantly rising.
