               NO NEW TAXES, NO NEW SPENDING, NO NEW DEBT

  (Mr. CULBERSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CULBERSON. Madam Speaker, I just finished speaking to the Bunker 
Hill and Wilchester Elementary School students, and I want to bring to 
the attention of the people here in the audience and out there the 
cover of the new Economist magazine which expresses beautifully the 
terrible, terrible burden that this Congress, this liberal majority, is 
passing on to our kids.
  Now, there was debt run up under the previous administration. I as a 
member of the fiscally conservative minority voted against $2.3 
trillion worth of new spending under the previous administration. I 
already voted against $1.6 trillion in this administration. And no 
matter who you are, fiscal conservative or liberal, each one of us 
needs to remember as parents, as husbands, as responsible citizens, 
that we cannot pass on a burden of debt to our kids.
  On every vote on every issue, we need to remember that our children 
are inheriting the biggest debt and the biggest deficit in our Nation's 
history. As bad as the deficit was under Mr. Bush, the Economist points 
out it will quadruple this year and stay over $1 trillion a year out 
into the future.
  Madam Speaker, on every vote on every issue, this Congress needs to 
cut spending. No new taxes, no new spending, and no new debt.
