But I am proud that this Republican majority held firm to its basic common sense principles for America: We will not abandon our glidepath toward a balanced budget. we will not eviscerate our national defense. and we will not accept endless government intrusion into our lives just because the President and the liberal wing of the Democrat Party have again made big government and more give away spending the centerpiece of their electionyear gameplan. Mr. Speaker. we head home tonight proud in the knowledge that we have replaced the tired debate of whether we should balance the budget with a brave new dialogue about how to accomplish balance. We have ended the failed dependency trap of the welfare entitlement and implemented tough new illegal immigration policies. We have delivered common sense health insurance reforms to allay the anxiety of job lock and preexisting condition exclusions. We have brought about true reform to this institution. clearing away 40 years of rot caused by out of touch oneparty rule.
