Is it safe to say there are a good number of bureaucrats necessary to run each one of these 760 different programs?

It is clear to me we should be using the dollars to clean up the site. And right now only 50 percent of the tax dollars are actually getting out there to be used on cleaning up the site. And I would point out that is another vote that has…

We look forward to that redistribution back to the State of Wisconsin. I would conclude my comments by reiterating that I do support the overall bill, and in theory I support what is being said here, that the tax dollars that are collected…

Listening to the gentleman, the phrase ``trust but verify'' comes to mind, that we trust the procedure that has been initiated in this Congress will continue and this is very simply a verification that what we have started, to make…

We would certainly hope that in the future years we make sure that Wisconsin receives a dollar back for every dollar sent in, and that would solve a vast majority of the problems that we have.

reclaiming my time, is that the Congress where 30 percent plus of this money was allocated to one State consistently, year after year after year? That is what this new Congress is all about, is stopping that kind of practice.

Just a couple of things on this. I think all of this discussion about what is happening in Medicare, I just reemphasize that if our seniors do nothing, they keep Medicare as they know it today. A lot of times people forget that our friends…

I want to close my part by reminding us all this is still the greatest country in the world. Sure, we have got some problems. As a country, we have had problems before. What is going on out here right now is a new era in America, and we…

That is what this chart is showing. This is showing our total debt as of right now. This is the amount they borrowed per person, $19,100 for every man, woman and child in America, which has been borrowed basically over the last 15 years…

That is really the point. We keep talking about the debt and deficit. It is not about the debt and the deficit. It is about a moral and ethical responsibility that our generation has to stop doing what has been going on for the last 15 or…

Just to comment on that, it is very important for the American people to know that on that half where we do not get to vote on it, spending went this year from last year to this year, went up by $46 billion. That money is spent and it is…

Would you like to know how much more an American family of four would have had to pay in taxes over the last 15 years in taxes in order to pay their share of what the Government spent? If the Government were to break even over the last 15…

I told my folks back home at the town hall meetings that my goal was to someday stand before them, my dream for the future of this country, and say, yes, here is what we have done in Congress. We have stopped that growth and we have…

I have found that to be such a big misconception, talking to folks here in Washington versus talking to folks at our town hall meetings back in Wisconsin. The people back in Wisconsin think if we do not do the tax cuts, that means we will…

I will just carry on a little bit on just what you were just saying here, that when I go home to our district, and I turn on my TV set, and I hear about cut, cut, cut, cut, and then I come back out here to Washington, and I take a look at…

America is a country of extremely good people whose compassion leads them to do good and effective things. They know something is wrong in America right now. The Government is doing what no American family can do, spending more money than…

Make no mistake, a ``yes'' vote on the Defense appropriations bill means United States troops will be deployed into Bosnia. If we deploy United States troops in Bosnia, we, the United States, must be prepared to accept the consequences. If…

Mr. Chairman, just so I fully understand what is being proposed here, what we are saying is that the President would be required to come to Congress to request funds prior to deploying troops for the peacekeeping, for the enforcement of…

I have this recurring fear that I am going to wake up one morning, turn on the news, and find out the President of the United States has deployed 25,000 United States troops to the Bosnian region. That is why I have an amendment to this…

I have this recurring fear that I am going to wake up one morning, turn on the news and find out the President----

I would like to start this evening, and I do have this amendment to present, but I do want to praise our chairman for the work that he has done on this bill and the members of the committee. There are three things, in my opinion, this…

Mr. Chairman, our Nation stands $4.8 trillion in debt. We will overdraw our national checkbook this year alone by over $200 billion. Our children and our grandchildren are counting on us to stop spending money that we do not have. We must…

I stayed late tonight to tell the American people that we have come a long way in the first 6 months of this new Congress. We came here realizing that this nation was $4.8 trillion in debt, $19,000 for every man, woman, and child in the…

I believe this particular bill is important for a whole variety of reasons. First off, I will tell you when I campaigned last fall, I was concerned as to whether or not we would be able to actually keep the promises in the contract. This…

this new Congress is working hard to fulfill its promises to the American people. The most significant change this Congress must make will be done through passage of the balanced budget amendment with its three-fifths tax provision. Right…
