           ALL THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DO IS CHANGE THE SUBJECT

  (Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, I am a little worried that my friends across 
the aisle just do not get it. While the Republican majority is working 
hard to revolutionize Congress, the Democrats keep trying to change the 
subject. It seems to be an epidemic across the aisle. We talk about the 
balanced budget. They change the subject. We talk about welfare reform. 
They change the subject. We talk about unfunded mandates. They throw up 
every blockade known to man. It is as if, gee, if they throw up enough 
roadblocks and change the subject enough, people might want big 
government again. I do not think so.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for the Democrats to begin to work for a 
change in Congress and simply quit changing the subject.
