“in the real world if a family's house's foundation begins to crumble and the family does not have savings enough to make the necessary repairs, they would take out a home equity loan, a short-term loan, in order to rebuild the foundation of their family's home. It seems that the majority opinion on the minority side is to repudiate the economic policies of President John F. Kennedy, that a rising tide lifts all boats. The substitute that was offered last night says that in order to stimulate the economy we should spend more money. Were that the case, America would never experience a recession because Congress always spends more money. The other side has said that the judgment of individual Members of Congress seems to be superior to the judgement of America's families as they sit around the kitchen table trying to pay the bills. We are trying to embrace consumer confidence and investor confidence. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 2. Our economy's foundation is crumbling and it is time that we repair it.”
