“here is a budget that has been proposed from the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Neumann], one of the members of the committee. His budget excludes Social Security revenue and, as the gentleman knows, Mr. Speaker, Social Security is mixed in with the general budget. What his does is actually protect Social Security by putting it on a separate line and then, in addition to balancing the budget by the year 2002, one thing the Neumann budget has that I really think is very important, and I do not think this can be picked up by a camera, Mr. Speaker, but this is a schedule for balancing the budget and zeroing out the national debt. And in the Neumann budget, by the year 2023, my children and grandchildren, your children and grandchildren, can wake up and say the national debt is gone. The $6 trillion national debt, that generation of Americans, can live without having that dark cloud hanging over them.”
