“50 years ago Harry Truman attacked the do-nothing Congress, and I think 48 years later Truman would be saying the same thing of the do-nothing Democrats. Last year we got elected to do some very specific things. We got elected to provide a balanced budget, the first balanced budget in a generation. The do-nothing Democrats fault it. The do-nothing President vetoed it. Now he is doing the same thing with the gas tax. We want a straight reduction to cut gas taxes. We are providing it. The do-nothing Democrats once again are standing in the way. The do-nothing Democrats once again are threatening a veto. Talk about tax cuts, we provided tax cuts for middle-class families. The do-nothing Democrats fought it. The President vetoed a $500 per child tax cut. They increased taxes in 1993 on senior citizens up to 85 percent of their earnings. We offered relief. The do-nothing Democrats vetoed it. Most importantly, I think, on Medicare, they know Medicare is going broke. We did something about it. The do-nothing Democrats vetoed it and shamelessly demagogued the issue, and are willing to throw the senior citizens out in the cold.”
