On the recordJanuary 24, 1996
last night our President spoke to all Americans about the challenges facing us. The President challenged Congress to help him produce a smaller, less bureaucratic government in Washington. The President told Americans that the era of big government is over. The President challenged Congress to balance the budget, reform welfare, reduce teen pregnancy, to provide a tax credit for children, and to preserve Medicare. Mr. Speaker, the President's actions speak louder than his words. I am reminded of a colloquialism, ``Been there, done that.'' Congress already passed legislation to balance the budget, reform welfare, reduce teen pregnancy, provide a tax credit for children, and preserve Medicare. The President's response? He vetoed them, all of them. This President will say anything, but he obviously has trouble performing.
