[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 16] [House] [Pages 22428-22429] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]REPUBLICANS WANT AMERICANS TO SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) [[Page 22429]] Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, the last person in the well made the case very clearly as to what the debate is about. The Republican's $792 billion tax cut gives money back to the people who earned it. The Democrats want to spend it. It is just that simple. We heard the gentleman say we did not have enough money for education and for the programs he wants to spend it on. We want you to spend it; they want to spend it for you. It is a very, very simple issue. The one thing that we are very clear on is that we passed the Social Security lockbox. Not one penny of Social Security surpluses will go for spending or for tax relief; it will go for Social Security. I will repeat it again. We want you to spend it; they want to spend it for you. ____________________
