Lincoln Chafee: “I should like to say to the distinguished Senator that I encounter fellow Senators who say, ``I'm all for your plan…”

“I should like to say to the distinguished Senator that I encounter fellow Senators who say, ``I'm all for your plan except I don't like the tax cut,'' or, ``I am all for your plan except I don't like that change in the Consumer Price Index,'' or, ``That's an excellent plan, but the Medicare number isn't the one I like.'' Now, my question to the Senator from Louisiana is, What other vehicle is going to be presented that fixes these problems? If they do not accept our proposal, the proposal of the distinguished Senator from Louisiana and I and this wonderful group of bipartisan Senators working with us, if they do not like that, what else has a chance at being enacted that is going to balance this budget, not only at the end of the seventh year but in the outyears as well?”
