“You see, it is legitimate to have differences of opinion and to disagree without being disagreeable, and Mr. Speaker, I think it is painfully apparent. Our friends on the left believe there is a higher and better use for your money in the coffers of the Federal Government. My friend from New York said it very clearly in the Wall Street Journal: ``We will have to figure out who hasn't been hit so hard and take away some of what they have earned.'' But the other portion, my friend from Texas left out. Should the Vice President of the United States become President of the United States, just yesterday, Mr. Speaker, he outlined a budget plan that would spend all of the surplus; and while I do not doubt my friend from Texas' commitment to cutting the deficit and the national debt, the fact is our friends on the left had 40 years and they were so caught up in spending that they spent all the monies, including the Social Security monies. So what we say is this, and, again, I would enjoin my friends to disagree without being disagreeable: the fact is there is a philosophy on the left to take away what people earn.”
