On the recordMarch 2, 1995
Well, probably the big difference is that we care more about the WIC Program than they do, because the greatest threat in the world to the WIC Program is this county going bankrupt. I mean, I have wondered for a long time why we have not been able to balance our budget, and you cannot really tell that from C-SPAN. But sitting on this floor tonight, I see why in the last 25 years the party in control of the budget who writes the checks, the Democratic Party, has not balanced the budget one time, and I can clearly see tonight why they will not. That is all we are trying to do so we can save the WIC Program.
