                        GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT

  (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, again my colleague from Connecticut (Ms. 
DeLauro), to put it charitably, is confused. See, one of the oldest 
Washington tricks is to send the budgeteers a letter with false 
assumptions to get a false result. In the real world that is called 
garbage in, garbage out.
  Now to the gentlewoman and the rest of my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, we 
do not propose to put wheels on anyone's grandma and take away their 
Social Security. Now that has been, sadly, standard operating procedure 
when the free spenders were in charge of this institution; but on the 
contrary, Mr. Speaker, what we propose is a 1 percent solution.
  Observe, Mr. Speaker, one penny, one cent, made, no doubt, with fine 
Arizona copper in part, and what we propose, Mr. Speaker, is to take 
one penny out of every dollar of discretionary spending. That way we 
balance the books; that way we preserve the Social Security Trust Fund.
  No, we do not want to see grandma sold down the river or any 
American. We will stop the raid. We have done so, and we dare not turn 
back now. Responsibility, credibility, and the future is the key to 
success, and we will do it.
