On the recordJanuary 11, 1995
Many times over this last quarter century the loyal fans of the Cornhuskers felt the ground swell of a pending national championship victory, only to know the disappointment as that victory slipped away. Likewise, Mr. Speaker, since 1935 the American people have diligently petitioned this body for a balanced budget. Year after year they watched and waited, believing reform was within their grasp, only to see the national debt and government spending increase. They have waited patiently for lawmakers to bring them relief from the increasing tax burdens, only to suffer the disappointment of another legislative year gone by with no visible victory won over the skyrocketing debt. Mr. Speaker, as lawmakers we have a chance to coach America's team to a fiscal victory. We came here armed with a mandate to pass the balanced budget. I encourage it to happen this year.
