Jack Kingston: “It is ironic because you hear so often about cutting the budget and you hear about the Pentagon waste. You hear all…”

On the recordFebruary 7, 1995
It is ironic because you hear so often about cutting the budget and you hear about the Pentagon waste. You hear all about agriculture waste. And yet the two agencies that have had the biggest budget cuts of all are the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And if we can get HUD and Health and Human Services and Education and some of these other agencies to take the cuts just in percentage that defense has taken, we would be very close to having a small deficit compared to the $200 billion deficit which the President's budget projects for this year.

I think the president at this point, he's realizing what the American people are realizing, is that this investigation is leading to nowhere, and it probably should be wrapped up very soon.
