                              THE BIG LIE

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, today's headlines in Congress Daily read, 
``Clinton Budget Hikes Deficit More Than Expected.'' That says it all.
  Of course, this article proves what we have believed about the 
Clinton budget and verifies why he campaigned against the balanced 
budget amendment truly mortgaging our children's future. Yet all of 
this comes to light while President Clinton and the Democrats 
shamelessly use children in his big lie scare tactics regarding our 
reforms.
  In fact, let me once again reiterate the facts to the President, to 
his lackeys, and to the American people. Not only are we not cutting 
nutrition programs for our children, but we are increasing funding 4.5 
percent every year. How many working people out there, if they got a 
4.5-percent increase in pay, would think it was a cut?
  Mr. Speaker, the American people did not believe the big Social 
Security lie during the last election used during the campaign and 
hopefully they will not believe this new big lie. Absent of good ideas 
and with budget numbers that increase the deficit more every year, what 
can be expected from the other side? Let us balance the budget. Let us 
save our children's future.
