Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 31, 1996
the reason I wanted to address the Senate at this time is that having spent a few days in Arizona recently visiting with constituents, I think that I have learned something that is important for us to share as we continue this debate about the budget impasse and whether we are going to be able to reach an agreement on a balanced budget. What I have heard from my constituents is, they are as concerned about the other side of the equation, namely, the income side of the equation, as they are about the balancing of the budget by the saving money side of the equation. Specifically, in the context of the new report issued a couple of weeks ago by the so-called Kemp Commission, they are suggesting that we should turn more of our attention to how we raise our revenue as much as we do to how we save our revenue.
