“I stand here as a member of this fringe that is happy to associate with the 83 percent of Americans who think this Congress is doing a poor job. We have got a lot of talk about cuts, but there is one thing that's clear. There is an increase in this bill as written. There is an increase of $6.6 billion in the deficit over what there would be if this bill held spending flat. That is an increase in raiding the Social Security surplus, and that will lead to the many tax increases that your side is currently proposing both in your budget and in other bills floating around in both this Chamber and the other. Those are increases there. This bill will not stop those increases, but just a little bit of a time, a quarter of a percent, it will help to slow the growth. I would ask for everyone's support on this bill. Madam Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
