Political Quotes

“I bring to the attention of the Members in the Chamber the fact that on Thursday the House will consider the budget resolution for fiscal year 1995. During that debate on Thursday the Republican Members led by the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. John Kasich, will present a Republican alternative to that budget. Over the last 2 years John Kasich and the Republicans on the Committee on the Budget have done an outstanding job of putting together an alternative budget that in fact reduces the deficit further than the administration's proposal, and it does so by cutting spending and reforming the way Government works. This year's budget resolution offered by the Republicans in the House includes a $500 per payer middle-class family tax credit. It fully funds our version of health care reform, crime initiatives, and welfare reform. It generates $278 billion in net deficit reduction, $152 billion more than that promised by the Clinton administration. We do this through job creation and economic growth. We do this through welfare reform, crime control, and our health care proposal, but in addition we reform Government operations in a way that begins to make Government more effective, more responsive, and certainly less costly to the American people.”
