                           SAY NO TO GOP DOPE

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, both Democrats and Republicans agree that 
the American worker is in need of relief. Stagnating wages, longer 
hours, corporate downsizing, and NAFTA have all taken their toll on 
what was once the world's highest living standard.
  By contrast, the stock market is breaking new records, corporate 
profits are going through the roof, and corporate executives are making 
30 times more than their lowest paid employees.
  Yet the Republican solution to these inequities is to cut taxes for 
wealthy corporations, reduce worker safety, and increase funding for 
star wars and B-2 bombers.
  This trickle-down strategy, Mr. Speaker, is the crack cocaine of bad 
economic policy. I urge my colleagues to just say no to GOP dope.
