Yesterday, Republicans produced a historic plan to bring us to a balanced budget by the year 2002. The liberal Democrats here in Congress have already jumped on the whining, moaning, and groaning bandwagon to denounce our plan in every way they can. But let me just ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle one question, Where's your bill? Where's your plan to balance the budget? The fact is that you don't have a plan. You haven't submitted anything in writing to balance the budget. Instead, you are content to sit there maintaining the status quo while our children's future goes down the drain. Mr. Speaker, Republicans care about the future of our country. Republicans will pass a balanced budget. We will keep our promise to the American people.
