 AMERICANS WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY AND OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP MORE 
                                 OF IT

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I have a great deal of personal affection 
for the gentleman who preceded me here in the well, but the simple fact 
is when you talk about genuine cuts, about the only real cut we have 
seen is my good friend, the gentleman from Illinois, shaving off his 
trademark mustache.
  The fact is, for all the venom and vitriol about incredible cuts and 
draconian measures taking place, that simply is not the case. Rather, 
we are slowing the rate of growth of Government. To my friend who says, 
Mr. Speaker, that we are affecting seniors and students and families, I 
say he is right; we are affecting them in a positive way. We are making 
sure that the American people hang onto more of their hard-earned 
money. Indeed the tax cut, the $500 per child tax credit, goes to help 
80 percent of families in this country.
  Certainly there is a problem with facts and rhetoric. The fact is we 
are helping working Americans by this very simple premise: They work 
hard for the money they earn, they ought to keep more of it and send 
less of it to the Federal Government here in Washington, DC.
