             IT IS TIME TO END THE GOVERNMENT FREE-FOR-ALL

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, this week Congress will vote to undo some of 
the damage that previous Congresses caused over the last 40 years. For 
too long politicians here in Washington assured the American people 
that they had all the answers to society's problems.
  Since the 1960's the Federal Government has created so many programs 
and so many spending plans that it is absolutely mind boggling. I think 
it is fair to say that there is not one accountant, not one Government 
bureaucrat who can name all of the programs that the Federal 
Government--and the American taxpayer--pays for.
  And what has all this spending created?
  Debt, debt, and more debt.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time to end the Government free-for-all. It is 
time to set our priorities straight and work together to balance the 
Federal budget, if not for our own sake, then for our children and 
grandchildren.
