On the recordApril 5, 1995
in the last 91 days here in the United States Congress, we have passed some new legislation to give the President and the Congress more ability to cut spending and reduce the deficit. I voted for the line-item veto; I voted for the balanced budget amendment. But now the rubber meets the road. Now we have the opportunity to put our money where the deficit is. Are we going to spend over $700 billion that we cut in spending and give it to corporations and wealthy individuals? Or are we going to give every single American a tax break and reduce the deficit, keep the interest rates down, keep the economy growing, allow Americans the opportunity to buy a new home? That is the tough decision we should make. Let us not pander for reelection in 1996. Let us make the difficult choice for our children and reduce spending and put it toward the deficit.
