“today's headlines in Congress Daily read, ``Clinton Budget Hikes Deficit More Than Expected.'' That says it all. Of course, this article proves what we have believed about the Clinton budget and verifies why he campaigned against the balanced budget amendment truly mortgaging our children's future. Yet all of this comes to light while President Clinton and the Democrats shamelessly use children in his big lie scare tactics regarding our reforms. In fact, let me once again reiterate the facts to the President, to his lackeys, and to the American people. Not only are we not cutting nutrition programs for our children, but we are increasing funding 4.5 percent every year. How many working people out there, if they got a 4.5-percent increase in pay, would think it was a cut? Mr. Speaker, the American people did not believe the big Social Security lie during the last election used during the campaign and hopefully they will not believe this new big lie. Absent of good ideas and with budget numbers that increase the deficit more every year, what can be expected from the other side? Let us balance the budget. Let us save our children's future.”
