On the recordMarch 14, 1995
you will hear a lot of whining, weeping, and gnashing of teeth on the other side of the aisle in the coming days. You see, the liberal Democrats just cannot accept that under our Republican tax relief plan, Americans will actually be allowed to keep more of their own money. The liberal Democrats think all money belongs to the Government. They think the Government needs the money more than working families do. They think Government does a better job of spending your money than you do. And they cannot accept that the bloated bureaucracy will be reduced to pay for much-needed tax relief. They think Government should be even bigger. They think Government does just a wonderful job of delivering services. They think the Government needs a raise. But Republicans will put Government on a diet. We will read every page, check every line, and challenge every figure in a search to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. This is nothing less than a fight to preserve the American dream for our children. And we will deliver.
