On the recordMarch 5, 1996
What I would really like to do is compare the Clinton crunch with the balanced budget bonus; that is to say, the benefits to the average American family that will result from putting our fiscal house in order back here, eliminating deficit spending and balancing the Federal budget, versus the present economic predicament that we as a nation find ourselves in. As both gentlemen will very well remember, the President back on January 23 visited our Chamber and stood at this podium right behind me to deliver his annual State of the Union Message, and in that speech just less than 2 months ago he told us that our economy is the healthiest it has been in three decades and he proclaimed the era of big government over. We have all learned to expect, particularly from this President, some fairly outrageous statements. In fact, I think it was Jay Leno that pointed that out the other night.
