For the first time since 1969 for the last 12 months running, this government spent less money than they had in their checkbook. That is just a monumental change in the way things have been done. I should say it again because it is that…

as you know, I am a former home builder and very familiar with the role of home mortgages in the country. We have about 23,000 mortgage brokers that originate half of all home mortgages throughout the country. These are small businessmen…

Would it be fair to say when we look at the Labor Department, they are missing $3 billion, and if we could cut out that part where they cannot find any, we could apply that $3 billion to tax reductions to the American people?

Let me put this in very real terms. That family of 5 I am talking about, they are a $50,000 a year kind of family. When Christmas comes they want to buy presents for their kids, but they are living paycheck to paycheck as they go along…

The key here is as we eliminate this waste, it provides us with the dollars necessary to reduce the tax burden on the American people, while, at the same time, leaving our hands off of Social Security, which is what the Social Security…

Just for a second, when you have got 760 different education programs run by the United States Government.

I rise tonight to encourage my colleagues to take a deep breath and slow down, because things are happening very, very fast out here. When things start happening very, very fast in Washington, D.C., what happens is we lose track and we…

all I know is in the appropriations process right now we have made the decision to go forward with building more buildings. In the debate we have had here in the 3 years since I have been here about the draconian cuts imposed on America by…

And I think that is the point of this whole discussion. We can do tax cuts without touching the Social Security money. There is absolutely no reason in the world that this government should take the money coming in from Social Security and…

Just reclaiming my time, I cannot help but point out that the great State of Wisconsin is out in front of the country again on this issue, as they were with welfare reform under Governor Tommy Thompson. They are now out in front in terms…

This is really about whether or not the United States government is going to interfere and mandate higher prices than the market would bear for peanuts. The price those farmers are farming and selling those peanuts, who are not under the…

I get excited when we get to this point, because all of a sudden we begin to understand that we are no longer in 1993, whining and crying that we cannot do anything other than raise taxes on the American people to solve government…

The difference between a personal audit, though, and a company audit or between a personal audit and this government audit is, in a personal audit when you going to buy a house they verify virtually everything. And I just like to make the…

As we talk about this, and I mentioned it earlier in the hour, I do think it is very, very important to keep this in perspective. When we came here three years ago, when all of a sudden it was a different group of people in control the…

No, sir, that is $23 billion in a single year. That is almost $100 for every man, woman and child in the whole United States of America, to put this in perspective. You know we throw these billions around like basically speaking that $1…

Along with every one of those 760 is a huge bureaucracy to run the program, and what is happening is the bureaucrats are getting the money that is supposed to be in the schools helping our kids.

We are now in surplus in both the general fund and in the Social Security fund. There is such good news on the economic front here.

I rise today to ask all Americans to join me in remembering a very special day in our Nation's history. This Sunday, June 14, we will once again be observing the birth and preservation of the United States flag as part of our annual Flag…

the Harley-Davidson Company is gearing up for its 95th anniversary celebration, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for this outstanding Wisconsin company. Great Wisconsinites, like Green Bay Packer Coach…

I would just say it is very important to me that we keep this from becoming a partisan issue. This is not about Republicans or Democrats, or even about the Clinton administration. This is about where we are right now today. In my opinion…

The Conservative Action Team, or CATs, was founded to get this Congress back on track with the agenda the American people sent us to achieve in 1994. Today we bring before this House a budget that does exactly that. In fact the CATs budget…

I would like to set this discussion in proper perspective today. Recently one of the polling companies from here in Washington, D.C., asked 2,000 American adults, ``Do you think the United States Government should increase faster that the…

That is an important part of the CATS budget. It spends less and it can provide more tax relief. It also provides more money set aside to preserve and protect Social Security than any of the other three budgets under consideration out…

The marriage tax penalty is one of those commonsense issues in this country that makes people so angry out there in America. It is one of those issues, when you go to people and say, did you know that if four people work at the same job…

Well, this is a reprioritizing of how we are spending the taxpayers' money. We can spend it on any one of a number of programs out here. We simply said, look, if the rest of the budget is going to be allowed to increase at the rate of…
