On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
it is always refreshing to hear the comments of my good friend from Massachusetts, and to hear the frustration on that side of the aisle, especially when it comes to the Secretary of the Treasury and his effort to dillydally around with the debt limit, the debt ceiling, being so in love with the notion of keeping the Government operating that he would take pension funds to pay it; an oath of fealty to keeping the Government running instead of being true to the American people. Mr. Speaker, neither side has all the answers, but the fact remains that we must remain true to our country, to our Constitution, and to generations yet unborn by at long last passing a budget that comes into balance in 7 years, using honest numbers. Let us get past frustration and let us see productivity and once again we reach out our hand to the minority party. Join with us and govern this Nation.
