On the recordOctober 12, 1998
the White House said, give the International Monetary Fund $18 billion more, or we will shut the government down. Take it and like it, Congress. Shut up and pass it, Congress. Enough is enough. When will the Congress grow a backbone? What is going on here, Mr. Speaker? I say if that is the deal, shut the government down. You know not one American will be hurt. We can retroactively take care of them. But I am not for one more penny for the international monetary slush fund. We give them the money. They buy Chinese products with it. Foreign leaders steal it, and then they vote against us at the United Nations 90 percent of the time. Beam me up. If we are going to flush another $18 billion down the toilet, then push the handle, Congress, and flush it in America. I yield back the balance of anything worth flushing with the International Monetary Fund.
