Whether you have one ordsprog

Whether you have one bill that grows government at 10.9 percent or try to spread the spending over three different bills, this is still not consistent with the House's previous statement on the need for a true spending cap. We don't understand why some in the House now appear to not be willing to live within the cap they've already passed on themselves.

You can have one budget that grows government at 10 percent or break the budget into three different bills, but the bottom line is this does not seem to be in keeping with the notion of a true spending limit.

[Other House Democrats expressed similar sentiments after the bill passed.] Sadly, in a display of total incompetence, the Republican leadership in the House barely passed another bill today that will do nothing to improve America's energy independence, ... Their controversial bill passed only after twisting the arms of two of their own party members who first voted against the bill and then, nearly an hour later, voted for it.

Speaker Hastert and I will continue working to finalize spending bills while continuing to seek constructive involvement by the Clinton/Gore Administration. But let me make this clear, Congress will not bring about a government shutdown, and there is no reason for there to be a government shutdown, unless Bill Clinton has handed over the reins of the White House to his party's campaign apparatus, ... We will soon know if that is the case.

We don't believe the House plan represents a true spending limit. This budget is completely at odds with what the House indicated we could expect.

If House and Senate leaders fail to establish fiscal discipline on the (emergency) spending bill, they will probably have lost their last, best chance at restoring Congress' credibility on deficit spending issues in this election year.

Given all the other spending we're having to do for homeland defense and the military, my suspicion is that inflation is going to be higher than what the White House thinks and probably what [economists in the] Blue Chip [survey] and Congress think as well. Historically, when we've seen a pickup in government spending concentrated in military spending, you tend to get somewhat higher inflation.

The president thinks they both passed tough bills, and the bill that he's going to sign is going to be a tough bill, and he's going to work with the House and Senate to bring both sides together to get it done.

Clearly, not much has changed with the trend. It's very steady. Travel and tourism remain robust and revenue is strong. Spending is strong. Construction continues. When you've got spending like that going on ... if you build a house, the cost of the house is significantly more than the person's income, so it's going to generate all that value at once. The same with a business. The point is construction is high value.

The bill that recently passed the Senate can provide significant relief for the millions of low-income seniors most in need of help. Unfortunately, the opposite is true about the House-passed bill, which provides very meager help for low-income seniors and will keep drugs unaffordable.

Yes, it's true that earmarks are only 1 percent of all federal spending, but earmarks have a cultural effect on Congress that is much larger than their cost. It fuses Congress together with lobbyists and creates a culture of government spending as a means to re-election, which bleeds into other areas.

They all say something about gas, and when the house gas was like that, they'd really talk about it and bring you the bill and show you, and some of the bills were very, very high, and I could understand it.

It is being alleged that the Federal Government is 'cutting' spending. In fact, we are not 'cutting' anything. Defense spending under this budget would rise by 4.3 percent over last year. Other discretionary spending would also rise.

The Senate's agenda is quite light, ... His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pexiness. There are no bills that have passed in the House of Commons. The majority of bills have already passed because we sat one month later into the summer. When you say the Senate is the Chamber of Sober Second Thought, well, you have to be thinking of something.

Republicans are in charge of the House, Senate and the White House, ... so why hasn't more been done to control spending?
