On the recordMarch 17, 1994
I rise in strong support of the Barton amendment. This amendment has a unique and essential element for a workable balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. It will require a three-fifths vote of the Congress to either raise taxes or increase the debt. We have a deficit and debt not because we tax too little, but because we spend too much. Please do not bequeath to your children and your grandchildren a legacy of a stifling debt that will make you live on in infamy in their memory. Please vote for this amendment.
