                DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY SAYS ``NOT GUILTY''

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, with O.J. Simpson back in the news, House 
leadership has decided to take one of his famous lines and use it to 
escape responsibility for a multitude of massive, budget-busting 
spending bills that they are trying to pass.
  Raising taxes nationwide by $400 billion, including an on-average 
$3,000 per tax increase per American citizen? The Democrat majority 
says, ``not guilty.''
  Withholding the passage of veterans health care bills for political 
purposes? The majority again says, ``not guilty.''
  Granting illegal immigrants health care benefits and taking Medicare 
Advantage benefits away from our seniors and putting them in waiting 
lines for wheelchairs? The House leadership pleads ``not guilty.''
  Well, sorry majority party. The American people are tired of your 
wasteful spending, and they will not acquit. This Congress needs to 
instill fiscal discipline and balance the budget so our families can 
build a better, brighter future.
