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.
