                       COMMON SENSE FOR CONGRESS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the White House says that the Republicans 
help the rich and hurt the poor. From taxes to disaster aid, let there 
be no mistake: The White House is winning.
  But I ask at what expense? Rich versus poor, black versus white, man 
versus woman, old versus young. Politics of class, politics of race, 
the politics of fear, the politics of division. Yes, the White House is 
winning. The White House is winning the political spin battle, but I 
say to the Congress, unless both parties start to use some common sense 
and stop cannibalizing one another, the American people will lose this 
war. All of them. Any party that is that bad would never get elected.
