Political Quotes

“tonight I would like to follow up the previous Special Order by starting out with some comments on the budget, on spending, on the tremendous deficit that we are leaving to our kids. Then also, I want to, on this eve of the war, finish up with some concerns that I have with such countries as France and Germany and Russia, I think putting our kids at a little greater risk. But first let me react to some of the comments that we have been listening to, that we need to increase spending on some of these important items. Let me start with the tax cut. When the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett) and I first came to this Congress in 1993, one of the first events was a Democratically controlled House and Senate; and with a new Democrat President, we increased taxes more than taxes have ever been increased in the history of this country. The tax cuts that are being suggested now do not commence to negate that huge tax increase that we had in 1993.”
