On the recordMay 26, 1994
this week Congress begins considering the annual appropriations bills, which fund the Government's programs. Before we rush to spend the Nation's money, we should ask ourselves the same question we would ask if we were spending our own: Are we getting our money's worth? Too often America's answer to this question has been ``no.'' Democrats would like to try and convince us that America's answer is wrong. Republicans believe America's answer is right and it is the spending that is wrong. Nowhere is this truer than in the legislative appropriations bill that we vote on today. The question we should ask is simple: ``Are you getting your money's worth, America?'' In the case of this administration and its legislation, the answer is a resounding ``no.'' This Democrat-controlled House, Senate, and White House keep getting it backward. They insist on spending more and getting less, when in fact America will get more when we spend less.
