FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
(Mr. BERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BERRY. Madam Speaker, I love coming down here and listening to
these whiz bangs on the other side talk about their fiscal
responsibility and all of this foolishness that they have put forth to
the American people. It makes me want a dip of snuff. It is almost like
they cannot add and subtract. I know they cannot multiply and divide.
But the great mystery to me will always remain why in 5 years' time
when they have increased the national debt by $3 trillion and
demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have absolutely no
interest in being responsible, they would come here, present a budget
that increases the debt by tens of billions of dollars more and try to
tell the American people this is what you need; this is what we are
going to do for you. You are going to have to answer to your children
and grandchildren. And I would love to be there when they walk up to
you and say, Grandmother, Grandfather, why did you do this to us?
