from time to time, we hear some pretty wacky ideas in Washington, none wackier than a recent suggestion, apparently emanating from the other body that the Congress adopt a 13-month fiscal year so as to circumvent the budget caps we agreed…
Congressional Budget Office projects approximately $3 trillion in budget surpluses over the next 10 years. The Republican plan would take $2 trillion of that money and put it in the Social Security and Medicare lockbox. That means that $2…
when I hear some of my liberal friends on the other side of the aisle, not the gentleman who just spoke, I might add, talk about targeted tax cuts, I know exactly what they mean. It means you will not be getting one. Republicans, I should…
I heard a criticism the other day of the way that Republicans talk about our budget proposal that I think has some merit. The Republican budget proposal contains three major elements: Saving Social Security and Medicare, paying down the…
we have all heard the old expression, ``You snooze, you lose.'' An article in yesterday's Washington Times brings that old expression to mind. It was entitled, EU, that is European Union, Latin Trade Zone Doesn't Include U.S. It seems that…
President Clinton ran an ad in his first presidential campaign back in 1992 in which he said he wanted to end welfare as we know it. Then what happened? Well, he had a Democrat-controlled Congress for the first 2 years of his term, and…
President Clinton ran on a middle-class tax cut back in 1992. However, once in office, he raised taxes by a record amount; in fact, the largest tax increase in American history. The tax increase would have continued, but in 1994 the…
every once in a while in politics the truth slips out. Sometimes the so-called political pros call it a gaffe. Well, we have a perfect example of a gaffe by the leader of the Democratic Party in this body in the House, the gentleman from…
Madam Speaker, despite some of the rhetoric on the other side of the aisle, H.R. 833 is a pro-consumer piece of legislation. That is, pro-responsible consumer. H.R. 833 protects individuals and businesses from having to pick up the tab for…
Congress faces the prospect of multitrillion dollar surpluses, budget surpluses, over the next 15 years. That is good news. As one might expect, the response to this good news has been sharply divided. Liberals, and President Clinton, have…
I have believed from the outset that our involvement in this European conflict is wrong. It has become painfully apparent that the Clinton administration committed American air power without a clearly-defined mission and without a credible…
now the big government bureaucrats in the Clinton administration have decided they do care about the privacy rights of the American people after all. Just 14 days before 9,000 home health care providers are to begin submitting the personal…
they are at it again. We learned this morning from The Washington Post that those big government loving bureaucrats in the Clinton administration are up to their old tricks again. When we last heard from our friends in the Federal health…
it is the official policy of the United States to remain vulnerable to a ballistic missile attack. That might be surprising to many, but it is true, even though it flies in the face of common sense. Iraq, North Korea, Iran are all embarked…
a lot of Americans look at what the government does and conclude that many of the things that it does simply make no sense. The marriage tax penalty certainly falls into that category. The Federal Government has actually set up a system…
education is critically important to the future of our Nation. I venture to say every Democrat and Republican who is in Congress would agree with that statement. In order to assist parents in financing their children's education, this…
The compelling evidence in this case satisfies the intent element required under both sections 1621 and 1623 of the Federal Criminal Code.
The President of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer of this land, lied under oath.
this legislation will close a loophole in federal law that allows dangerous drugs--particularly drugs used in connection with date rape--to be legally imported into the United States. Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies; drug…
This important initiative will close a loophole in Federal law that allows dangerous drugs, particularly drugs used in connection with date rape, to be legally imported into the United States. Federal, State and local law enforcement…
a minute is not nearly enough time to address the horrors of partial-birth abortion. But I trust that during the course of this debate the truth will come through and this body will do the right thing, the decent thing and vote to override…
While they are being born. I think we ought to join together and try to save those babies that would otherwise be born.
I think everybody would accept when you have a balance between the mother's life and the child's life. That is not the issue.
That is not what your bill says. The bottom line is we are trying to save babies. You are always saying, Let us do this for the children, let us do that for the children. Let us pass this veto override to save the children. This will…
The bottom line is the folks that are on our side here want to save kids. We want to save children.
