David Weldon: “You can get your own time. We all know that under Lyndon Johnson we went under a unified budget. The gentleman from Iowa…”

On the recordMay 23, 2002
You can get your own time. We all know that under Lyndon Johnson we went under a unified budget. The gentleman from Iowa got up earlier and talked about how he was not here. I was not here either, but the reason I am here, the reason I left my medical practice is year after year, $200 billion being borrowed after you raided the Social Security trust fund. We all know we have a unified budget. We all know that. I will tell you what I think this is all about. I think this is all about wanting to spend more money. That is the way I interpret it.
