                         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?
