     REPUBLICANS TACKLE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, SEEK A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, over the last 4 months the liberal Democrats 
in Congress have been feeding the public a steady diet of class warfare 
rhetoric. Somehow they think that the budget problems we face will 
magically disappear if the phrase tax cut for the rich is repeated over 
and over.
  This strategy exposes the fact that liberal Democrats have a lack of 
conviction in solving the Nation's problems. They offer no leadership 
and they seek to divide America along class lines.
  Since the start of the 104th Congress, Republicans have offered a 
vision of America that can solve its problems and we proved that we can 
keep our promises.
  Republicans here in the House are convinced that we must balance the 
budget. But balancing the budget is not just about money it is about 
our children's future. For too long now, the Federal Government has 
operated in the red. The resulting debt is a threat to America's future 
generations that must be dealt with.
  So while Democrats offer class division and dance around the tough 
issues, Republicans offer a return to a balanced budget.
