  (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, from the home office in Scottsdale, AZ, 
the top 10 excuses liberal Democrats have for not voting for the 
balanced budget amendment.
  No. 10, we might really have to slow spending.
  No. 9, the dog ate my homework.
  No. 8, fiscal responsibility phobia.
  No. 7, the devil made me do it.
  No. 6, if so many of the American people want it, it cannot be any 
good.
  No. 5, contract-envy.
  No. 4, it wasn't me, it was a space alien with a remarkable 
resemblance to me.
  No. 3, I did what?
  No. 2, let's feed big government bureaucrats instead of little school 
children.
  And the No. 1 excuse liberal Democrats have for not voting for the 
balanced budget amendment, they want early retirement in the next 
election.
