                CUT SPENDING AND GET THE ECONOMY MOVING

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to 
the majority leader--the Democrat majority leader's comments about the 
accomplishments that have been made by this Congress. I would just like 
to say briefly this: the American people don't want to hear this 
hyperbole. They don't want to hear these long dissertations about 
what's being accomplished around here. What the American people want is 
to cut spending and to get this economy moving again and create jobs. 
And blowing money like the Democrats are doing and creating a debt that 
our kids will never be able to deal with is not the answer.
  And so I'd like the next time that they have this discussion back and 
forth for 45 minutes that they cut to the chase and say, We're going to 
do this to cut spending. We're going to do this to create jobs. And 
we're going to cut taxes like Ronald Reagan did to get this economy 
moving again, instead of all this other stuff that's going on.
