                   LIBERALS OFFER NO IDEAS, ONLY FEAR

  (Mr. BAKER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAKER of California. Mr. Speaker, President Franklin Roosevelt 
said ``We have nothing to fear but fear itself.'' [[Page H5779]] 
  Winston Churchill told the British people, ``I have nothing to offer 
but blood, toil, tears and sweat.''
  The liberals in this chamber have decided to put those two bold and 
spirited quotes together to come up with their new motto, ``We have 
nothing to offer but fear itself.''
  Everyday we see a parade of liberals come down to the well, not to 
shed light and clarify, but to distort and sow fear.
  They tell seniors we are slashing Medicare, when the truth is that we 
are increasing spending on Medicare by 33 percent per senior over the 
next 7 years.
  They tell children we are going to take their lunches away, when the 
truth is we will spend more on them, 4.5 percent more each year.
  They tell students we are going to cut student loans, when the truth 
is we are strengthening the student loan program.
  All the liberals offer is fear. No ideas. No plans of their own. No 
leadership.
  What would Franklin Roosevelt think.
