Seventy-five years ago this week, American forces were under siege from 200,000 German soldiers, over 1,000 panzers, as Hitler mounted a counteroffensive in the middle of the freezing-cold winter at Christmas. Our boys, no doubt, wanted to get home. Yet, this Congress surrenders. It surrenders to the swamp, mortgaging the future, the very future those men fought for. The President, last spring, about a massive omnibus, said: ``I will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not going to do it again. Nobody read it. It's only hours old. Some people don't even know what is in it.'' It was $1.3 trillion, the second largest ever. Mr. President, I look forward to your veto.
