        THE REPUBLICANS ARE DELIVERING ON THE PROMISES THEY MADE

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, one of the definitive marks of the 
modern Republican Party is that we believe taxes are too high and that 
they should be cut. Since the beginning of this Congress, Republicans 
have put those beliefs into reality and soon they will become law.
  For generations, public policy has been based on the premise that 
government could better redistribute wealth and resources in the 
economy. People who believed in free markets were written off as 
economic relics.
  Well, the game is up and a generation of economic policy making has 
literally blown up in the faces of the liberals who created it. We have 
a massive, but ineffective government and a $5 trillion national debt. 
The American people are demanding changes and Republicans are 
delivering on the promises we made last year to shrink the Federal 
Government, and, we will not back away from our promise to cut taxes 
for American families and small businesses.
