         THE DEMOCRATS' WAY TO ECONOMIC PROSPERITY IS NONSENSE

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, it is fascinating to listen to the parade of 
people from the minority party come before this Congress and tell us 
why they are in the minority. They are in the minority in large part 
because they hate the idea of tax cuts. Giving tax cuts to the middle 
class is an absolute anathema to them, and so, therefore, they come to 
the floor day after day and suggest that the idea of giving tax cuts to 
the middle class is exactly the wrong national policy and we ought to 
do nothing in terms of a budget that would get us to tax cuts for the 
middle class, because after all, they know that if we simply give a 
bigger and bigger Federal Government more money, that that is the way 
to economic prosperity.
  Mr. Speaker, it is nonsense. The American people understand that 
their entire concept is nonsense.
  Now they are talking about Medicare. We have a program to strengthen 
Medicare in a way to assure that Medicare is there for people in the 
future. Otherwise in 7 years it goes broke. The Democrats have nothing. 
They are coming to the floor, and they have nothing. They have offered 
nothing, they are willing to debate nothing, they have no plan 
whatsoever. They are willing to countenance bankruptcy.
  So understand what their budget policy is. Their budget policy is 
bankrupt the American family by taxing them to death, and bankrupt the 
Medicare system so that nobody has medical care in the future.
