                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.
