BALANCING THE BUDGET 

Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, I 

thank the Chair very much. 

I think we have had some tremendous debate on the whole issue of the 

budget. We have heard people say, yes, 

there is enough that has been taken 

out or added or there is too much. 

The fact is that on this budget debate, whether or not we should balance 

the budget, if we follow the status quo, 

which is by far the easier thing to do 

today, because we will not have to 

make the tough votes if we follow the 

status quo that we have been on for so 

many years—the fact is if we follow 

that status quo, we will lose this country. 

The spirited, the polite, partisan debate that we have had during the 

course of this discussion will give way 

if we pursue the status quo to an absolute crisis situation. Shock waves will 

be sent throughout the world if in fact 

the United States reaches that point of 

financial collapse. And in that situation, Mr. President, as you well know, 

there will not be a United States to 

bail us out. 

The last balanced budget was 1969. I 

was a junior in high school in 1969. 

Now, I can tell you that was not that 

long ago. I can relate back to that. I 

now have a daughter who next year 

will be a junior in high school. So you 

see, it has been a generation since we 

have had a balanced budget. 

In high school, the last thing that I 

ever thought about as a high school 

student was a balanced national budget. It just did not cross my mind, and 

yet at that time, we had a balanced 

budget. 

But $5 trillion later, I wished that 

the adults of that era would have realized what should have been done—$5 

trillion later. Now I am the father of 

two great kids, Heather and Jeff. Next 

year they will both be in high school. 

But the difference between their being 

in high school and when I was in high 

school is that they now will owe, as 

every other American in this country 

will owe, $19,000 on the national debt, 

and they did not do anything wrong except to inherit this $5 trillion debt. 

In the State of Idaho, the State law 

requires that we must have a balanced 

budget every year, and in the same 

world that our Federal Government operates today in its red ink, Republican 

Gov. Phil Batt gave the people of Idaho 

a $40 million property tax relief. The 

fact of the matter was, it was their 

money, just as it is the money of the 

people of America that we are talking 

about. It is not the Government’s 

money. 

So we owe it to our kids to deal with 

this issue, and we owe it to our parents 

to deal with this issue, our parents who 

came through the recession and the Depression and tell us the stories of that
