Jack Kingston: “What actually is happening on WIC, there is $25 million in the budget…”

On the recordMarch 2, 1995

What actually is happening on WIC, there is $25 million in the budget that is a carryover. They are not using that. It is money left over. It represents 2 percent. Now we got a deficit of over $200 billion. Each year we spend $200 billion more than we bring in. Under the President's recently introduced budget just 3 weeks ago that deficit goes on for 5 years and increases the debt another $1 trillion, and our national debt is about $4.8 trillion right now. So here is a 2-percent cut in a program on money that they are not using, and you would think that the sky is falling.
