I asked the gentleman the specific question about the anglers in Ireland only because I chair an oversight subcommittee on the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and we asked a very simple question of the Executive Branch about a year and a half ago as we began a project called Education and Our Crossroads.

the gentleman from Michigan ever been in one of his town hall meetings and asked the question: How many people think government spending should go up faster than the rate of inflation?
I think that the gentleman and I agree that as we end up 1998 and as we prepare for 1999, the last thing this Congress ought to be doing is a 90 billion spending plan.
I ask how many people own a stock or a bond, almost every hand in the room goes up.
the gentleman from Michigan and my colleagues, I honestly believe we can do tax cuts this year if we just get our nerve back to control wasteful government spending.
