On the recordMarch 23, 2000
I love listening to these budget debates every year. It is like back to the future. It is like deja vu all over again. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they seem to be what Paul Simon called a one trick pony. It is the same thing over and over and over again. Except this year they have got three trick ponies. They have MediScare. They talk about how Republicans are going to destroy Medicare and Social Security. They have class warfare, talking about massive tax cuts for the rich, and Americans are not going to buy it. Well, heck, Democrats are buying it. One hundred Republican and Democrat Senators last night supported stopping penalizing senior citizens for earning money. They supported the marriage tax penalty reduction, bought and sold for by Democrats. God bless America. Everybody is doing it. They also spend without care. Every one of their substitutes spends more and taxes more than the Republican budget. Now they are reading cartoons. That is how sad it has gotten. I understand, because you know, in 1995, when we got here, they were doing the same class warfare argument, saying that we were going to destroy the economy.
