TIME TO REIN IN SPENDING, AND HAVE LIMITED AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT
(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, $8 billion. Inside the Beltway here, in
this land of bureaucracy in the District of Columbia, $8 billion may
not seem like a lot of money, but, Mr. Speaker, to the people of the
Sixth District of Arizona, and I would say to people nationwide, $8
billion is a whole lot of money, especially when those $8 billion, Mr.
Speaker, are going to come out of the pockets of the American people.
The fact is, Mr. Speaker, we have to have limited and effective
government. Yet, the gentleman at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue
has the same old answer to the question. He talks about the days of big
government being over. Yet, he wants to fund $8 billion of additional
ineffective Washington programs.
Mr. Speaker, when I return to the Sixth District of Arizona, no one
runs up to me and says ``Please, Congressman, take more and more of my
money for ineffective government programs.'' They say the time has come
to rein in spending and have a limited and effective government.
