                  HAVE THE CLINTON DEMOCRATS NO SHAME?

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, after watching the Clinton Democrats for the 
past few weeks, I have finally figured out what their strategy is. 
Since they have no solid ideas of their own, they have started on a 
fear campaign filled with illegitimate scare tactics designed to try 
derail any legislation Republicans offer. Have they no shame.
  First it was the children. The Clinton Democrats said school lunch 
programs were being cut, when in fact funding was increasing. Now they 
are saying children will suffer if we try to balance the budget. I say 
what kind of future will our children have if we do not balance the 
budget. Have they no shame!
  Next it is the college students. Clinton Democrats are scaring 
college students by playing fast and loose with the facts about school 
loans, when in reality a balanced budget will bring down interest rates 
by at least 2 percent, ultimately saving students money. Have they no 
shame.
  And finally, the Clinton Democrats, in their eagerness to score 
political points, are using their distorted fear tactics to scare 
senior citizens. Republicans are working to save Medicare--Republicans 
repealed Clinton's tax increase on seniors. Republicans are protecting 
Social Security. Have the Clinton Democrats no shame.
