                          PART OF THE PROBLEM

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, amid the cry from liberal Democrats regarding 
Republican welfare reform comes one clear message: The liberals are 
fighting hard for the bureaucratic status quo.
  Instead of joining with reformers who want to make current programs 
more efficient, more effective, and more fair, liberals prefer to make 
baseless attacks on Republicans.
  The liberals claim that our proposals would hurt children. Several 
studies have proven that our block-grant initiatives will cut a layer 
of bureaucracy while delivering more services for those in need.
  The liberals are instead defending a group of bureaucrats who waste 
the taxpayer's money and drain precious resources from our Nation.
  Someone once said: If you are not part of the solution, you are part 
of the problem. Clearly, defenders of the status quo are part of the 
problem that most Americans thought they solved in the last election.
