“just allow me to point out that the liberal House Democrats just do not get it. As we have spent more and more money on public education, test scores have dropped in America, but they do not see the correlation. Mr. Speaker, the Clinton administration is AWOL in the war on drugs. Recent surveys have shown that drug use among teenagers has skyrocketed. In fact, the age of first use of drugs has gone down to age 13 and in some cases even younger than that. That really hits home with me, because I have a 14-year-old son. Mr. Speaker, there is a reason for this though. The Clinton administration has slashed enforcement and interdiction programs and they have appointed liberal judges. The President has appointed liberal judges who care more about criminals than basic justice. Case in point: One judge in New York, a Clinton appointee by the name of Baer, recently released an admitted drug dealer who was caught red-handed with 75 pounds of cocaine and 4 pounds of heroin. Mr. Speaker, the President claims he never inhaled. But our children are inhaling and it is destroying their lives. The answer to our youth drug problem is not fancy press conferences. It is a President willing to institute real drug enforcement, real drug interdiction and real punishment of drug dealers.”
