              HOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BALANCE THEIR BUDGET

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, we have a new Congress that is moving 
forward with true reforms, with great changes for this country, for the 
21st century.
  Yet all we hear from some obstructionists are stories about foxes 
guarding chicken houses, about GOPAC, about making up imaginary Nazi 
historians and anything else to distract the American voters from the 
simple truth that we are moving forward with true reform.
  Not only do they cause a disservice to this country but they also 
cause a disservice to the entire body and prevent us from answering the 
simple question that they have continually asked time and time again: 
How do we balance the budget?
  Well, we do not do it by demagogery and stories about foxes and 
hounds and chicken houses and Nazi historians. We do it by sticking to 
the facts and getting to go to work and doing what needed to be done 
for the past 40 years while the Democrats held the checkbook. We do it 
the way the middle-class American family does it, by only spending what 
we have.
