                             CLASS WARFARE

  (Mr. RIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

[[Page H 11834]]

  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, all this class warfare nonsense and the 
Medicare tactics are designed to do one thing, disguise the fact that 
the Members on this side of the aisle, the Democrat minority, have no 
plan to balance the Federal budget.
  We have already made history. We have passed the first balanced 
budget in 26 years. And President Clinton and the congressional 
Democrats had 3 years to do that job. In fact, America is still waiting 
for the President's balanced budget plan. And if he has a better way to 
balance the budget than we do, we would like to see it.
  President Clinton has offered no budget that balances in 7 years. He 
has offered no budget that balances ever, and these are the deficits 
projected by the Congressional Budget Office based on his budget plan, 
$200 billion deficits as far as the eye can see. So we are waiting on 
this side of the aisle, colleagues. Let us see your balanced budget 
plan.
