                            IRRESPONSIBILITY

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Tomorrow, we're going to take up another short-term 
continuing resolution. In the meantime, today, tomorrow, the next day, 
we will be borrowing $4 billion a day that we don't have to pay the 
deficit that this administration is running. We're going to debate 
tomorrow about $6 billion here. Well, that's a day and a half of 
deficit. We're going to bring in around $2.1 trillion for this year, 
and we're going to spend $3.6 trillion. It is irresponsible. It is 
reprehensible.
  For years, we've heard: For the good of the children. It is for the 
good of the children that this body man up across the aisles and quit 
spending money that our children don't even have. Let's vote ``no'' 
until we can do some real saving.
