On the recordJanuary 3, 1996
I think what we have to look at is where those budgets take us into the future, where we are going to be 10 years from now, 7 years from now, 5 years from now. Those deficits start to return and start taking us toward more debt and increasing debt. So, it is great that the deficits have gone down. That is a little help toward looking at the future. But we have to get serious about what we are going to do in the next 7 years, and that is the President needs to give us a balanced budget now, one that will preserve and protect the future generations. That is all we are asking for, and I hope that the President will be forthcoming, be very serious about a balanced budget and just cut the rhetoric, just do the job.
