once again I listen with great interest to my friend from Texas, and so many folks on this side of the aisle, who once again are engaged in an active policy not of saving Medicare, but of Medi-scare. Mr. Speaker, there is one lesson I…
NAN A. S. HAYWORTH
The Public Record
I am holding in my left hand appropriately the Clinton Democrats' budget plan. Let us just take a look. As my colleagues know, there is nothing in here about balancing the budget, and there is nothing in here about saving Medicare either…
the challenge for us, and to the cynics who will be there, the bromide is this, oh, they want to turn the clock back. That will be the accusation that comes from the guardians of the old order who always look to concentrate power in…
In 1948, the average American family of four was paying about 3 percent of its income in taxes to the Federal Government. By last year, the average family of four was paying almost one-quarter of its income in taxes to the Federal…
If the gentleman from Ohio would yield, just simply keep those cards and letters coming because there is a diversity of opinion, there is not unanimity, but we all recognize we have to confront these problems to make a difference not only…
If we do not change what is going on and if by the good fortune and act of providence we are able to keep this government running with the equivalent of chewing gum and baling wire in the years to come, my son, who is now 21 months old…
we might entitle this, ``What I Learned on Summer Vacation.'' The fact is, going back home, we reorient ourselves to the great and good common sense of the American people. Did I hear uniformity among the constituents of the Sixth District…
from the home office of the Family Empowerment Coalition, the top 10 unintended consequences of the Markey V-chip mandate: No. 10, bureaucrats will be able to pick the shows your kids watch, but will not read them a bedtime story. No. 9…
this is the report the liberal Democrats do not want the American people to see. They do not want the American people to know the truth about Medicare. This report was signed by three of President Clinton's Cabinet members and shows…
on July 30, 1995, our friend, Mr. Medicare, will turn 30 years old. His trustees recently told him that he is very sick, but he knows that if he just changes some of his habits, he might be able to survive. Let us take a look at some of…
The only change the guardians of the old order want to make is to change the name from Medicare to Mediscare. They are intent on scaring senior citizens, despite the report of the Medicare Trustees that tell us that Medicare goes broke…
That is written across the forum in the National Achieves, and it is true. The fact is, and this is absolutely germane, not since 1923 has the majority party enjoyed less than 60 percent of the seats on the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr…
I would join with my colleague, the gentleman from Texas, in all well wishes to the Houston Rockets, and also really to the Orlando Magic, because cheering the NBA finals we are going to see some great basketball. Also during the finals we…
For weeks now, liberal Democrats have taken to this floor to decry, accuse, condemn, denounce, declaim, vilify, incriminate, fulminate, remonstrate, deprecate, and attack any plan to balance our budget. For some reason, they see no need to…
I would commend to the attention of my colleagues words from the Mesa Tribune in March of this year. Mark Flatten and Chris Coppola write the article. "In Arizona, sewage must be treated to drinking quality standards before discharged so…
there are some things going on here in Washington the American people really ought to know about. Members of President Clinton's Cabinet have raised some very serious questions about the long-term health of Medicare. A report by the…
for the last generation the governing principle here in Washington, especially here in the Congress, was always, above all, make government bigger. We now see the consequences of this ridiculous principle, almost $5 trillion national debt…
I will agree with the preceding speaker on one matter: There is a circus and it is not the Ringling Brothers outside; the circus came to town 40 years ago with my liberal brethren on the other side of the aisle, still dealing with…
let us resist the temptation of the guardian of the failed policy of the past to come up here and offer faulty rationalizations for class warfare. Let us talk real facts. And, Mr. Speaker, the facts speak for themselves. In 1950 the…
I have some graphs here to illustrate the differences in the way Republicans approach leadership and the way liberal Democrats approach leadership. The first graph I have here shows how Republicans will increase funding and grow children…
in last year's budget, the President estimated that unless things changed, future generations would have to pay an 82-percent tax rate. So when I got this year's budget, I looked furiously to see just how much the situation had improved…
I thought for a time tonight we had made real progress because it seemed the preceding speaker... fast approaching $20,000.
Mr. Speaker, let me also observe though that my liberal colleagues on the other side of the aisle never tire of telling us how much they care for our Nation's children. But if they really cared about children, they would join us in…
I am very happy to send these numbers. I believe everyone in the new majority is happy to share these numbers as part of the new proposals. Will there be different delivery systems? Sure.
I will depart from my prepared text directly to answer my good friend from Wisconsin. First of all, my friend, you know it is an out and out falsehood; we will not take apples nor milk nor any food out of the mouths of the children of this…
