                AMERICA IS TIRED OF PLAYING MAKE BELIEVE

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Madam Speaker, first, Bill Clinton as a candidate said he 
would balance the budget in 5 years. Then he got into office. He said 
it is not really important to balance the budget. Then he said maybe we 
can do it in 10 years, then maybe we could do it in 7 years. Only his 
figures did not balance. 

[[Page H 12205]]

  So I guess now he is back to the point where balancing the budget is 
no longer important again.
  Would not it be wonderful to be like Bill Clinton and wake up in a 
new world every day? When I was a kid, and many of you will remember 
this, too, by the way, today I will be the cowboy, you be the Indian; 
tomorrow I will be the Indian, you be the cowboy; maybe we will be 
policemen, maybe we will be explorers. We called it playing make 
believe.
  Bill Clinton is still playing make believe. Maybe it is fun for him 
to wake up in a new world every day and decide who he will be. But it 
is not fun for the rest of America.
  Decide, Bill Clinton, who are you? Liberal, conservative, whatever? 
America is getting tired of playing make believe.
