                           PAY MORE FOR LESS

  (Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming. Mr. Speaker, pay more for less. This should be 
the Democrat's campaign slogan for the upcoming election.
  First there was the Clinton plan for health care reform.
  In the name of reform, the President's plan would mandate less 
benefits, less quality, and reduce choice all at the cost of billions 
of additional tax dollars.
  And now, there is the plan for Social Security of the chairman of the 
Ways and Means Committee.
  According to newspaper reports, the Chairman's plan would reduce 
COLA's, accelerate the retirement age, and increase the payroll tax.
  In other words, the middle-class wage earner would pay more for less.
  That does not sound like much of a deal to me.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the American people to take a second look at the 
pay more for less party. They do not look like a good deal for the 
Nation's future.
