AND THE BEAT GOES ON
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, that sound you hear from the other side of
the aisle is the last drumbeat of the old order. Our liberal friends
continue to march to the beat of Government mandates, Government
spending, and Government taxing. That is why they are so quick to
endorse an increase in the minimum wage, so quick to oppose the
balanced budget amendment, so desperate in their opposition to the
line-item veto.
But the American people are marching to the beat of a different
drummer. They look to the future and to us for new solutions, smaller
Government and fewer mandates.
The American people want the private sector to be able to create jobs
that pay more than just the minimum wage. They want a future free of
nonsensical, repetitive, and unproductive regulations. And that is why
the people voted against liberal Democrats in overwhelming numbers last
November.
Mr. Speaker, the tired, old drumbeat of bigger Government, bigger
taxes, and bigger spending goes on. Thankfully, the American people
have stopped listening. They have started reading the ``Contract With
America,'' soon to be No. 1 on the best seller list and the No. 1
priority of this New Republican Congress.
