Saxby Chambliss: “Exactly right, Mr. Kingston, and I could not help while listening to this looking at these photographs of those children…”

“Exactly right, Mr. Kingston, and I could not help while listening to this looking at these photographs of those children that they were parading up here for the sole purpose of trying to arouse the emotion of the people that they are trying to appeal to, but really those pictures were very appropriate to be here. We should have had pictures of children here because it is the children of this country that we need to look out for, and, if we continue to spend money the way we have spent it for the last 25 years, we are going to leave a bankrupt country for our children and our grandchildren. That is what the balanced budget amendment is all about. That is what we kept hearing during the course of our campaign over the last 2 years. The people in this country are simply tired of the bureaucrats in Washington spending their money unwisely, and that is what we have got to stop. And I agree with the gentleman. One of the greatest moments I have ever lived was on January 25 in this very Chamber, and I believe it was about this time of night when we watched the 300 votes add up on the wall over here that voted for the balanced budget amendment. That was a great victory for the American people. Today it was a very sad day when the Senate failed to vote for the balanced budget amendment, and I certainly hope that we are going to get that amendment called back up on the Senate side and a very much of a wrong rectified there.”
