today is the birthday of Andrew Jackson, our seventh President. One of his most memorable accomplishments is that he was the only President to actually pay off the national debt. Where have you gone, Andrew Jackson? Our President today on the other hand thinks that $200 billion deficits as far as the eye can see is just OK. Well, I just wish the President and House Democrats cared enough about our children to actually balance the budget. This week we begin to change the way Washington works by sending Washington home, back to the people. We will start by passing a bill to reduce the onerous tax burden that has stifled economic growth in our country. For the overtaxed American family, relief is on the way. For overtaxed small businesses, relief is on the way. For senior citizens hit by the Clinton tax hike on Social Security benefits, relief is on the way. And we will cover every dime of these tax reductions by cutting the fat from the Federal Government. It is time to fundamentally change the relationship between Washington and the American people. It is time to listen to the American people.
