WE NEED TO BALANCE THE BUDGET IN 7 YEARS
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, it is always refreshing to hear the
comments of my good friend from Massachusetts, and to hear the
frustration on that side of the aisle, especially when it comes to the
Secretary of the Treasury and his effort to dillydally around with the
debt limit, the debt ceiling, being so in love with the notion of
keeping the Government operating that he would take pension funds to
pay it; an oath of fealty to keeping the Government running instead of
being true to the American people.
Mr. Speaker, neither side has all the answers, but the fact remains
that we must remain true to our country, to our Constitution, and to
generations yet unborn by at long last passing a budget that comes into
balance in 7 years, using honest numbers.
Let us get past frustration and let us see productivity and once
again we reach out our hand to the minority party. Join with us and
govern this Nation.
