  TWO WEEKS' DEBATE ON MONEY FOR FOREIGN AID, BUT NO FUNDING TO SOLVE 
                           AMERICAN PROBLEMS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, let us see if I can understand this. 
There are 25,000 murders a year. We have a Tax Code that is literally 
killing us. The IRS keeps ripping us off. We have parents without 
children, Social Security being raided, Medicare almost broke, a record 
number of school dropouts, workers losing their pensions, losing their 
health insurance benefits, workers losing their jobs, massive budget 
deficits, huge trade deficits, and, Mr. Speaker, the Congress of the 
United States has been debating foreign aid for 2 solid weeks.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Is it any wonder why America is so angry 
with their Government? While we debate foreign aid and more money for 
overseas, America is going to hell in a handbasket. Think about it.
