Political Quotes

“One of those budgets, the Democrat budget, expands Government. It does so in their claim to do the country good. We believe that there is another way of doing the country good, and that is to offer a plan for reform and a plan that helps the American family. If Members look at the two budgets they will find that the Democrat budget is a status quo budget. In fact, it is worse than the status quo. If we would allow the budget to simply grow automatically, we would end up with less spending and less deficit than what is included in the Democrat budget that will come to the floor in the next few hours. In the Republican budget we offer health care reform, we offer welfare reform, we offer a crime package, and we offer the American people a $500 tax credit for every child in the family. We do so at the same time as reducing the deficit $150 billion below what the Democrats are offering on the floor. If the American people want true reform and they want the families of this country empowered, they will support the Republicans in what we are attempting to do in this House, and that is to change the direction of America, to bring about real change in the budget process.”
