On the recordJanuary 25, 1995
I think we have seen a whole new changing of the President last night in his State of the Union address. It is very clear for the doomsayers; they like to say we are going to cut Social Security. Absolutely hogwash. As you well know, Congressman, the fact of the matter is that Social Security is off the table. All of our senior citizens will be protected. And the fact is that people across America in every single district, in every single State are saying we want a balanced budget amendment and we want the Barton one, the one that is going to call for tax limitations. People do not want to see wasteful spending. When they see their tax bills, they know that is happening in this Congress. I think people are getting the message all across America. I hope those on the other side listened to what the President said last night about reaching out to America. He saw the result from last November's election and he wants a join us in the Contract With America. Let us get this bill to his desk and get it signed.
