On the recordMay 22, 1997
I come here with a happy face today because of the work that we have done this week on the budget agreement. We ought to all have a happy face and a big smile. I am a little surprised at the-world-is-falling attitude on the other side of the aisle. The balanced budget amendment passed by over 330 votes out of this House, putting into law an agreement between the Democratic President and the Republican Congress, to move this country ahead to a balanced budget, to provide necessary services, and yes, to provide what the American people believe they cannot afford from Government. When we hear from the other side of the aisle about all the things that are not in this budget, we realize how out of touch they are with the American people, who realize there are limits to what we can do with one's family budget, with one's State budget, with the Federal budget. Let us all be happy we are making great progress.
