              TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO TIGHTEN ITS BELT

  (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, it is always interesting to listen to my 
friends, the liberals on the other side of the aisle, and they do some 
very creative writing as we just heard from the preceding speaker.
  As we begin to debate this issue of tax cuts, I think it is important 
to keep one fact uppermost in our minds: Those who send their hard-
earned money to Washington did not cause this deficit. Those liberal 
big spenders who sat and dominated this Chamber for so long, those are 
the folks who caused this deficit. It is an obvious but overlooked 
point.
  So when the liberals say they cannot afford to cut taxes, what they 
are really saying is they will not cut spending.
  This whole debate is evidence of a disturbing mind-set on the part of 
the liberals from the other side of the aisle which assumes all the 
money in America belongs to this Government and that this Government 
needs the money much more than America's families. Friends, it is the 
American people who need tax relief. They have been tightening their 
belts for years while the Government has continued its big-spending 
ways.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time the taxpayer got a break, and it is time this 
Government tightened its belt.
