“You know, let me just mention the tragedy in Florida. We went out this week to try to help people. We took some Federal money that had already been appropriated to use to help farmers whose crops were destroyed. We've led the private sector in helping people in Homestead, Florida, and all across for the hurricane. And Governor Clinton was outraged. He accused me of pandering. Now, that's the same guy that Paul Tsongas called the ``Pander Bear.'' You remember that in the primary. He's now acting like Goldilocks, saying, ``Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!'' Here are the facts, pure and simple: We have suggested specific spending cuts and specific tax reductions. And he has told the American people, ``I want to increase your taxes by $150 billion and increase spending by $220 billion.'' We can't have that. Audience members. Boo-o-o!”
