   COMMONSENSE CONSERVATIVES TRUST THE PEOPLE TO INVEST IN THEIR OWN 
                                FUTURES

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Madam Speaker, I listened with great interest a few 
days ago when the President of the United States came to this Chamber 
and outlined some 80 new programs in the span of 75 minutes, and, Madam 
Speaker, indeed I believe it comes down to a question of trust, because

was the President's statement in subsequent days in Buffalo, New York?
  Quoting the President now, Madam Speaker:
  ``We could give it,'' referring to the budget surplus, ``We could 
give it,'' the budget surplus, ``all back to you and hope you spend it 
right, but . . .''
  Madam Speaker, that outlines a clear difference between the two major 
political parties. It is a question of who do we trust? Do we trust the 
government more to spend our money given the long history of wasteful 
Washington spending by this overgrown bureaucracy?
  Madam Speaker, the majority party and the common-sense conservatives 
of this country trust the people. That is why we called for broad-based 
tax relief, so that all American families can save, spend and invest in 
their own future. It is a major difference. Indeed, Madam Speaker, it 
is a question of trust.
