John Campbell: “Mr. Chairman, we have heard and we know this budget has the largest tax increase in American history and it also doubles…”

“Mr. Chairman, we have heard and we know this budget has the largest tax increase in American history and it also doubles the deficit from what the last Republican budget was. But somehow the majority seems to want to convince us all that this is good for America. Well, in considering that, I'm reminded of this commercial I see on TV, this guy named Matthew Lesko. Have you seen it? He wears this funny suit with these symbols on it, and they film it right out here on the west side of the Capitol. And he clearly makes a great living. He publishes books to tell people how to get their hands on government money. He says in the commercial: "Let Matthew Lesko be your guide to join the millions each year who get free money, grants, loans, giant contracts, and free assistance from the Federal Government." Here are some of his book titles: "Free Money for Business"; "Free Money for a Better Home"; "Free Money to Pay Your Bills"; and, my personal favorite, "Free Money to Quit Your Job." Now, the Democrats would have you believe that they're perpetuating with this budget the concept put forward in this commercial, that government money is free. But you know what? It's not.…”
