that sound you hear from the other side of the aisle is the last drumbeat of the old order. Our liberal friends continue to march to the beat of Government mandates, Government spending, and Government taxing. That is why they are so quick to endorse an increase in the minimum wage, so quick to oppose the balanced budget amendment, so desperate in their opposition to the line-item veto. But the American people are marching to the beat of a different drummer. They look to the future and to us for new solutions, smaller Government and fewer mandates. The American people want the private sector to be able to create jobs that pay more than just the minimum wage. They want a future free of nonsensical, repetitive, and unproductive regulations. And that is why the people voted against liberal Democrats in overwhelming numbers last November. Mr. Speaker, the tired, old drumbeat of bigger Government, bigger taxes, and bigger spending goes on. Thankfully, the American people have stopped listening. They have started reading the 'Contract With America,' soon to be No. 1 on the best seller list and the No. 1 priority of this New Republican Congress.
