                               DEM AGENDA

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Doomsday. That is what the Democrats have to offer. But, 
actually, we have been waiting for weeks, months, actually over a year 
now for the Democrats to offer an agenda, and they did that last week, 
although agenda may be a little too strong of a word. It should be more 
appropriately called the Cliff Notes for Liberal Lunacy.
  Case in point. They say they need to require fiscal discipline. Is 
this some kind of joke coming from the Dems? This is the same party 
that has proposed $45 billion in new spending on this House floor to 
appropriations bills over and above what we as Republicans want to 
fund.
  Where do Democrats propose eliminating the deficit, by cutting the 
size of growth? Do they do that? No. They actually just want to go back 
to raising your taxes for all hardworking Americans.
  The Democrats are calling from the same old playbook: Promise, tax, 
spend. Promise, tax, spend. And what we have with their agenda is more 
of the same.
