“It's the economy, stupid.'' That is what President Bill Clinton told us in 1992. Today, 4 years later, America is feeling the Clinton Crunch--that double whammy of higher taxes and declining wages. To combat the Clinton crunch Republicans believe we should balance the budget and cut taxes. President Clinton thinks we should maintain the status quo. Just look at the record. Republicans, for the first time in a generation, passed an honest balanced budget. The President not only vetoed that plan but he has refused to negotiate in good faith toward a compromise. Now our plan also cut taxes. We cut capital gains taxes to create jobs and boost the economy, and we provided a $500 per-child tax credit to help families suffering from the Clinton crunch. Mr. Speaker, the choice has never been clearer. On the one hand we have Republicans, men and women who mean what they say and keep their word. And on the other hand we have President Bill Clinton, a say- anything, do-nothing liberal President. ____________________”
