END CLINTON SNOW JOB
(Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as Washington, DC, recently
struggled to dig out from the worst blizzard in years, Americans from
across the Nation began to see through the Clinton snow job.
Consider the thoughts of a constituent, friend, and relative, Linda
Seeligson from San Antonio. She rightly fears that the President's
opposition to entitlement reform and lower taxes will steal our
children's future. She sees through the President's Mediscare tactics.
And she resents the President's use of generational warfare to pit
parents against children, employers against employees, and workers
against retirees.
Millions of Americans agree. They reject the politics of envy and
class warfare. They have real compassion for working families who must
work longer to pay for big Government. They're tired of a welfare state
paid for by the middle class. And they seek to
[[Page H340]]
replace this welfare state with an opportunity society built on
personal responsibility.
Bill Clinton ran for office claiming to represent the people who do
the work, pay the taxes, and raise the children. Americans like Linda
Seeligson want a balanced budget, lower taxes, and less government.
And they want an end to the Clinton blizzard of more spending and
higher taxes.
