...social progress. We are not ashamed to defend what we and the vast majority of Americans believe in--student aid, protection of our environment, care for our elders, the social safety net--from attacks by the cabal of right-wing extremists led by Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). If Democrats fail to stand up for those not at the top, no one will...
...Hilley (soon to join the White House as its congressional liaison), kept CBO staff members working overtime trying to figure out how to squeeze in at least a teeny tax cut, which Clinton had promised.

...latest, perhaps final, chapter of the yearlong budget battle was written a week ago Saturday at a restaurant near the Treasury Department. For days Newt Gingrich had been stewing over how to make his best and final offer to Clinton.

At the White House, President Clinton maintained an upbeat tone, offering a new plan to eliminate the home sales tax and lower the top capital gains rate from...
WASHINGTON, D.C. "I cannot allow my fund-raising to be tied in any way to specific votes," freshman Rep. John Hostettler has defiantly told Newt Gingrich in a letter. The House Speaker had abruptly cancelled plans to attend a Hostettler fundraiser to punish the Indiana Republican, who had bucked Gingrich's emotional appeal to vote to end the federal shutdown two weeks ago. Gingrich later offered to reschedule the event, but Hostettler rebuffed him, saying, "I am today declining your unsolicited offer to attend a fundraiser in Southwestern Indiana to benefit my re-election." Not all is lost in this...
