“Voodoo numbers, where in the past a spending increase was called a spending cut. This year when we are talking about abolishing the Department of Commerce, we have Secretary Ron Brown telling us that there is not a penny of corporate welfare in that department, and that abolishing the Department of Commerce will cost the American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. Let me get this right, now. According to the Democrats, a spending increase is actually a spending cut, and a spending cut is now called a spending increase. As a Democrat says, "Beam me up, Scotty. I cannot take it anymore. I don't understand that."”
