You know, a revolution occurred in this country November 8, 1994, and the reason that revolution occurred is because the American people are sick and tired of the bureaucrats in Washington running their lives on a daily basis from a personal and a business standpoint. You know, I am somewhat appalled that the folks on the other side of the aisle who spent the last, and it was not an hour, gentlemen, it was an hour and a half, that we had to listen to this berating of starving children and starving mothers, which is simply misinformation that is being put out from the other side. But those folks represented a total, if I counted correctly, somewhere between 15 and 20 States. You know, what we, as Republicans, are trying to do is we promised the American people that if you elect a majority of Republicans to the House of Representatives on November 8, 1994, we are going to return your government back to you, and that is exactly what we are doing. We are doing that with this program. We are taking the bureaucrats from Washington out of the picture, and we are returning the program to the States.
