On the recordFebruary 3, 1995
I think we are narrowing the debate. I think we both pretty much agree that we have a very serious problem. I think where we finally perhaps disagree is the prospects of doing anything about that on the current course. We have been talking about balancing the budget for years and years and we have been talking about fiscal responsibility. Every Member who gets on this floor to speak says they are for a balanced budget and every Member says they fought for fiscal responsibility. As the Senator from Illinois pointed out awhile ago, the last time we debated the balanced budget amendment the same things were said. 'We made some progress. We are going to make more.' We are going in the wrong direction. My concern is that we will take no action. My concern is that we will continue to do the wrong action that we have been doing for the last 70 years.
