                           SHOW US THE MONEY

  (Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, why is it that the majority 
party in this body, with an overwhelming majority, refuses to tell the 
American people, with a budget resolution, how they plan to spend their 
hard-earned taxpayer money? Why?
  Well, it's a political year, and they don't want to show the American 
people that we are going to borrow $1.6 trillion beyond what we take in 
to pay for the profligate spending splurge that we see going on in this 
body. Every American family has to have a spending plan, a budget. 
Every church, every business, every government--State, local, and 
Federal--is supposed to have spending plans, and they do, except here 
in this Chamber.
  Come on, majority. Show us how you're going to spend the money. Bring 
your budget forward. Every American has the right to know how you're 
going to spend their hard-earned money and how much debt you're passing 
along to their children and to their grandchildren.
  Show us the money.
