On the recordMay 9, 1996
A lot of people think that the President has lost touch since he has flip-flopped so many times that maybe it has affected his head and his thinking. But it is not true. Bill Clinton still feels your pain. In fact, Bill Clinton feels your gas pain. He even caused your gas pain, 4 cents a gallon, a 30-percent gas tax increase. That is about the price of a can of beans with every 10 gallons of gas, about a 40-cent difference. So this summer, Mr. Speaker, what I say to middle-class Americans, when you are on vacation filling up your gas tank, spending that extra 40 cents, go ahead, buy the President a can of beans and send it to the White House. That way, not only will Bill Clinton feel your gas pain, but he can share in it as well.
