A CLEAR CHOICE
(Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, as we debate the budget today on the House
floor, I urge my colleagues to ask the question: Which budget
alternative meets the needs of the middle-class family?
The Republican alternative has middle-class tax relief. The Democrat
budget continues the President's higher taxes and spending of the
future generations of the middle class' own money.
The Republican alternative includes spending for anticrime measures.
The Democrat alternatives does not.
The Republican budget pays for real health care reform. The majority
budget does not.
The Republican budget includes welfare reform. The President still
does not even have a welfare reform plan.
The Republican budget cuts spending first, by slashing spending $152
billion more than the Democrat budget alternative.
Mr. Speaker, the choice is clear. If you want middle-class tax
relief, anticrime measures, health care reform, welfare reform, and
real deficit reduction, you will support the Republican budget. If you
want the status quo, you will vote for the Clinton budget.
