On the recordJuly 19, 2002
I wish to express to the Senate my sincere disappointment that we have not passed a budget. It has been 27 years since we have had this budget process in place in the Senate. This is the first time we have not had a budget plan passed out of the Senate. If we are going to begin to talk about the need for various programs, it would certainly be helpful if we had some idea of where our limits were. I happen to believe we need to work to eliminate our deficit spending. We need to work to make sure we are trying to hold down the growth in our total debt.
