On the recordJanuary 11, 1995
for 40 years Congress has failed to do what middle-class Americans and State legislators across the country have done, and that is to balance the checkbook. Let the word go forth today that the checkbook has been passed for the first time in 40 years to a new generation of leaders that want to balance the budget and that want to balance the checkbook. What do we hear? We hear nothing but smoke and mirrors from people that talk about GOPAC and try to create images of Nazi librarians where they do not exist. They are red herrings. We are here to do a serious task and that is to balance the budget before it is too late. We need help from both sides of the aisle, because if we do not do it now, it is going to be late soon.
