“some opponents of the Private Property Protection Act of 1995 are engaged in world class doublespeak. Many of the same crowd that's run up a $4.5 trillion debt of our children's money criticize the Private Property Protection Act of 1995 as a raid on the Treasury. Those who supported the largest tax hike in history worry that the bill will harm the middle class. Many of the same gang that supported a Governmental takeover of private health care in America condemn this bill as a new bureaucracy. Those who created cradle to grave entitlements attack this bill as a new entitlement. And the people who will oppose tort reform next week worried that this bill will be a boon for lawyers. It's amazing the creative excuses that defenders of big Government will resort to in order to protect their power to tell the American people what to do. But, Mr. Chairman, the American people, many of whom are watching this debate on C-SPAN today, know better. They know who is responsible for the deficit-raising, tax-elevating, mandate-creating, heavy-regulating, entitlement-formulating, lawsuit-generating policies of the regulatory state. And the American people understand who will, and won't, end those policies.”
