On the recordJuly 11, 1995
recently House Democrats have been posting signs outside their offices that read ``Not For Sale.'' I guess their reasoning for doing so is to distance themselves from the current administration. Democrats might argue that it's in reference to their blatant hypocrisy over a committee seat, but since the White House has begun selling access to the open ear of the executive branch, I think it's because it looks bad back home. The reason it looks bad, is because it is bad. This administration claims to be the party of the poor and working class. Mr. Speaker, I ask how many factory workers, teachers or civil servants you know who could afford to spend $100,000 for a couple of meals at the White House. This administration has claimed to be the party of change and I guess it's true because $100,000 is a lot of change.
