                NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, what we have heard on the floor today is the 
liberal extremists who will do virtually anything that they can to stop 
a balanced budget from taking place. They will just obstruct, they will 
use anything in their power to stop a balanced budget from taking 
place.
  Now, they would have you believe that they are simply acting for good 
government. The fact is what they are doing is trying to stop the 
American family from saving $37,000 in interest costs on their 
mortgage, because that is what a balanced budget would do. They are 
trying to stop the American people from getting $900 less in interest 
payments on the family car that they purchase, because that is what a 
balanced budget would do. They are trying to stop people from getting a 
$10,000 interest advantage on their student loans, because that is what 
a balanced budget would do.

  The liberal extremists have fought Ronald Reagan, they fought George 
Bush, they have fought us all the way along. Now when it comes a time 
when we have an opportunity to really get a balanced budget, they are 
on this floor fighting again.
  Mr. Speaker, we need a balanced budget. Now is the time to get one.
