“wages are down and taxes are up. The middle class is slowly being squeezed by liberal economic policies put in place by the Clinton administration. Now we hear that the White House has requested an additional $8 billion for corporate welfare and social engineering programs. This is basically a Clinton reelection pork package. What really rattles me about this request is that the Clinton administration wants $10 million more for the National Endowment for the Arts. This is outrageous. Mr. Speaker, the American people are tired of seeing their hard-earned tax dollars wasted on projects that go out of their way to offend traditional values. It is outrageous that Bill Clinton would ask for an additional $10 million for this program in order to please the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party.”
