“Mr. Speaker, what the Secretary has been doing is raiding the pension funds. What the Secretary has done, and this is the fundamental part of this debate, are we so in love with government that we fail to live up to our responsibility? For, as my friend from North Carolina points out, the ultimate economic disaster, what unleashes chaos on the world markets is runaway spending of the type we have seen for the past 4 decades. The real question is not doing some things, like raiding the pension funds and using that as really the epitome of the examples of what has gone on here for the last 40 years. The key is to change things now. How? With positive economic initiatives for the future that deal with growth, growth that emphasizes the freedom of the marketplace; that is the essence of the debate, not to be in love with government, but to love every generation, our seniors and generations yet unborn, to end business as usual, end this runaway spending, restore true fiscal integrity.”
