                 MORE ON THE BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, for 40 years, the Democrats have had 
control of this Nation's checkbook. For 40 years, they have failed 
miserably to do what middle class Americans have had to do and have 
failed miserably to do what State legislatures across this country have 
had to do, and that is to balance their checkbook.
  Now with a fantastic opportunity to do that in the next few months by 
passing the balanced budget amendment, all they give us is smoke and 
mirrors and bring up GOPAC or ask us to name every penny that we are 
going to spend over the next 40 years to balance the budget. It is 
nothing but smoke and mirrors.
  I am honored and proud to be part of a movement that is finally going 
to bring fiscal responsibility to this House after 40 miserable years 
of failure.
