On the recordJuly 10, 1996
This is totally consistent. Even before Billy Dale was fired, I remember when this administration came in, I remember it like it was yesterday, all of a sudden they started calling taxation, what, contributions. And they started calling government spending an investment. Remember that? They would not use the word ``taxation'' and they would not use the words ``government spending.'' And when I knew that when someone who is so disciplined to do something so, what I considered disrespectful as to try to just change the words so the American people do not even know what is going on, so they cannot make a decision based on what policies they like or do not like because they are just corrupting the whole language so the American people will not understand what they are talking about, I said, this is one of the most heinous administrations that I have ever seen.
