On the recordApril 24, 1996
But I would say to the gentleman, that staying within the blueprint that the Republicans laid out, you have achieved a major piece of that. If we were to achieve the other pieces of that blueprint, we would not only be able to balance the budget in the conventional terms in which we define it, we would also return an awful lot of power and money and influence to the American people and all the cities and towns across this country. We would guarantee a bright light at the end of this tunnel for our children so that they will have a beautiful American legacy, we would be able to give tax relief. And, you know, in 1993 we raised taxes. The President says he raised them too much. What we are trying to do is cancel out those tax increases, frankly. And if we could just get the rest of this job done the right way, we would make for a better America, wouldn't we?
