                  BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS AFFECT CHILDREN

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, my son John plays on a U-10 soccer team, 
the Budget Bombers. Now, judging from their names, you would think we 
were a bunch of Democrats, but actually they are a bunch of future 
taxpayers who will inherit Democrat deficits.
  Their coach, Kurt Rodenberg, gave me this hat. I think it is 
appropriate for the season. It says ``Budget'' on it. I will call it 
the Kasich cap.
  But there is another cap out here. This is the Clinton cap. Something 
for everybody. Fun, games, promises, and make-believe; SSI for 
prisoners; fear and demagoguery for senior citizens; rules, 
regulations, and red tap for bureaucrats; American jobs and benefits 
for illegal aliens. And, for the children, Clinton and Demo-Clauses 
would never forget the children, for the children have a $5 trillion 
debt. Higher interest rates, higher mortgages, less jobs. What a future 
for the young U-10 soccer team.
  This is their compassion. This is their Christmas spirit. This is 
their love. Merry Christmas, Mr. President. But really and truly, fast 
forward them to ground-hog day.
