[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 15] [House] [Pages 23237-23238] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]THE PARTY'S OVER (Mr. McCLINTOCK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, on November 2, the American people spoke loudly and clearly: stop the spending. Instead of graciously bowing to the public will, the left has embarked upon a frantic lame duck spending spree with a majority that has already been turned out of office by the voters. First, they exacted another $136 billion in spending as the price to prevent a devastating tax increase on New Year's Day. They tried-- unsuccessfully--to cram through a $1.1 trillion [[Page 23238]] omnibus spending bill packed with more than 6,000 earmarks. They are now pressing to continue spending at a rate that exceeds even that of 2010. Now you could say they're partying like irresponsible teenagers; but even irresponsible teenagers have enough sense to stop trashing the house after the parents have phoned to say they're on their way home. Madam Speaker, the parents are going to be here in 15 days, and I have news for you: The party's over. Go home. ____________________
