On the recordFebruary 16, 1995

Well, there is enough to go around, but in the case of the 1993 budget deficit reduction package, I would shift the blame in large measure, to those who did not support that deficit reduction package. They sat here in the Senate. They sat in the House. We had a 1993 deficit reduction package that reduced the deficit over a period of 5 years by $482 billion. Somewhere between $450 and $500 billion. Not one Republican Senator voted for that deficit reduction package. Actually, the deficits have been reduced more than that. They have come down 3 consecutive years. Not one Republican Senator voted for that package. Why?
