On the recordMarch 16, 1995
In 1930, we saw the beginning of the change in course in our country, the beginning of more Government, bigger Government, more spending, which also brought more encroachment on everyone's lives. I think in 1994, the people of America said, ``No, stop. Stop the big Government growth. Stop the encroachment on our lives. Stop the arrogance in Washington, DC. Enough is enough.'' They said, ``We want to go back to self-help and self-reliance. We want to go back to the basics, and we want the American family to be the strength that it has been, the fabric of society that it has been, that has brought us to this strong and great America that we have.'' We have dissipated so much of the strength of our family through the dependence of Government.
