     KEEP THE REPUBLICAN PROMISE: CONTROL BOTH TAXING AND SPENDING

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, in the last few weeks, the other side of the 
aisle has engaged in such heated and hysterical rhetoric that it has 
reached meltdown levels. Their leadership and their President can no 
longer be thought of as sober or rational, and their hysterical and 
pathetic claims reveal a total lack of reasoned analysis of the facts.
  They are slaves to a welfare state that insists on high taxes and 
bigger bureaucracies. They fail to see the disastrous consequences of 
welfare, and they are blind to the out-of-control spending that may yet 
put us all in the poor house.
  Last November, the American people short-circuited the tax-and-spend 
Democrats. They said no to deficit spending and yes to accountability 
and responsibility. Republicans will keep our promise to cut wasteful 
Federal spending and to let Americans families keep more of what they 
earn. It is only right that we gain control of our taxing and spending, 
so that future generations may enjoy a decent way of life. Surely the 
alternative is budgetary chaos.
