On the recordSeptember 26, 1998
We should not be squandering our time on bills that we know are not going anywhere. The trade bill, which I voted for last night, is not going anywhere, unfortunately. This tax cut bill is not going anywhere, on the other side of this building, on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. In the meantime, the budget languishes. The appropriations bills languish. The trade initiatives that we could take languish. Funding for IMF languishes. So what are we doing? We are using our time on a Saturday morning to add to the deficit, to handicap our ability to balance the budget, to handicap our ability to solve the Social Security financial woes, to violate the budget rules. Indeed let's cut taxes-- when we can do so without jeopardizing Social Security and our commitment to balance the budget.
