                        CHICKEN LITTLE DEMOCRATS

  (Mr. NORWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, in deference to our last speaker, everybody 
knows that it was not the Civil War, it was the War between the States.
  Mr. Speaker, today we will pass a 7-year budget reconciliation that 
is a huge step forward for this great Nation. In the reconciliation, we 
will do the things the voters asked us to do when they swept the 
liberal Democrats of out office. We will balance the budget in 7 years, 
something that has not been done in a generation. Where the liberal 
Democrats of the 103d Congress raised taxes, we will refund taxes back 
to the hard working men and women in this Nation. We will fix a 
Medicare system that was going bankrupt. We will reform the morally 
bankrupt welfare system. In short, Mr. Speaker, today we will do the 
things we promised the American peopled we would do.
  I have listened to the Chicken Little Democrats whine ``this is too 
much, too fast, too hard''. But what do they offer? Nothing. Mr. 
Speaker, every day we ignore the problems of the Nation, they become 
worse. Now is the time for great action, and today will be remembered 
as a great day.
