Lloyd Doggett: “All of this, with all of those failures, all those attempts to wreck…”

On the recordJune 27, 1996

All of this, with all of those failures, all those attempts to wreck education, to wreck Medicare, what they call reconciliation, which was the right name for that bill that they did that it, all of that and then they have come, have they not, this year and they are actually increasing the budget deficit with the bills that they have proposed and not passed, they are going to increase the budget deficit this year after we had it on the path the last 4 years coming down every single year under Democratic leadership. This year they have passed a bill to increase the deficit this year, then to do it again next year. Maybe that is why they want to go home: they are not too proud of the increases that they proposed this year and next year.
