On the recordApril 3, 1995
It is a bit cynical, I believe, for us not to mention this, and to keep talking about other issues, about how we are trying to bring down the budget deficit. How can we debate bringing down the budget deficit by $100 million here or we are going to cut this benefit over here that is going to bring down the deficit supposedly by $2 billion, when billions and billions of more dollars are actually continuing to flow to bail out Mexico and these Wall Street speculators? It is a sin against our own people. Sign the Stockman discharge petition.
