                    REPUBLICANS WILL BALANCE BUDGET

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I sure am glad that 16 years ago I did not 
move to Washington after I was first elected to the House. I have been 
going home every weekend, because people outside the beltway think 
differently than the Democrats. I just cannot believe Democrats stand 
up here and complain when we Republicans want to take money out of the 
way of the Government and give it to the people. What in the world is 
wrong with that?
  Democrats say that we Republicans want to balance the budget and that 
this is going to cost $1 trillion. Ladies and gentlemen, that is going 
to save $1 trillion. The balanced budget alternative that I offered on 
this floor back in April actually cut the deficit by $750 billion. That 
did not cost the taxpayers, it saved the taxpayers. Who did it cost? It 
cost the Government bureaucrats.
  Give us 218 Republicans and we will pass not just the balanced budget 
amendment, but a balanced budget as well. We will give the American 
people back $750 billion.
