WORTH REPEATING!
I recently heard someone on the radio tell of a young lady whose mother said
to her, 'Now, be careful.' as she left home in her car. Her friend said, 'Does your
mother really think you won’t be careful unless she tells you to?' 'Oh, no,' the girl
replied, 'that’s just another way she has of saying, ‘I love you1." When someone
says something to us, are we listening for criticism-or are we listening for love?'
I immediately thought of my own mother and how it sometimes irritates me
because, although I am now an adult, she still tells me when I leave to ‘be careful'
and ‘always look in the back seat before you drive away.' How sad I have been
listening for criticism, and failing to hear the sweet expressions of her love.
That applies not only to parents and children but also to our neighbors, ourfriends,
our fellow humans. Are we hearing the sounds of love when they speak to us or
are we interpreting their words as criticism?

America to Congress:
Practice What You Preach
Why is it that politicians never seem to practice what they preach?
Think back for a moment to the peak — or the pit — of the recession. In
January, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell warned that the American
people must “do more with less.” Not unreasonable words for a nation locked
in an economic downturn.
Next, the senator from Maine thinly expostulated that “government must
do the same, to be more careful with 3 our tax dollars.”
Bravo. But what has Congress done since the senator’s sermonizing? Hired
more staff and given itself record-high budget increases. Indeed, Congress has
become a city unto itself, with a $2.5 billion annual budget and more than
37,000 employees — a population greater than that of 11 state capitals.
The growth of congressional staff is eye-popping. Congress this year will
employ almost 14,000 more staff members — which includes personal staff,
such as press secretaries, plus cooks, beauticians, and travel agents — than it
did in 1980. Figured separately, personal staff, or those working directly for
members of Congress, has grown from 6,791 to more than 19,000 since 1960.
Committee staff, likewise, has more than tripled, from 910 in 1960 to more
than 2,800 today.
Surprise: Bigger staffs always mem bigger budgets. The congressional
budget for 1992 will swell to an estimated $3 billion, or about $5.6 million per
year for each member of Congress. That’s how Capitol Hill does “more with
less.”
Indeed, earlier this year, virtually all congressional committees asked for
budget increases, most of them way above the rate of inflation. The Senate
Banking Committee, for example, requested a 45 percent budget hike for fiscal
1992 to help cope with the savings and loan scandal. But if the banking
committee’s staff of 42 failed to prevent the $300 billion S&L nightmare, why
should we think that more money and staff will help them do any better?
The only House committees that didn’t get more money were the two that
probably needed it the most — ethics and intelligence.
Americans have a Congress with the largest legislative staff of any govern-
ment on earth, a bloated bureaucracy larger and more spendthrift than most
anything this side of the Kremlin.
Congressional staff play a direct role in the reelection campaigns of Senate
and House members, producing the massive taxpayer -funded mailings around
election time. They also write the letters, make the phone calls, and arrange
the hearings to pressure the administralion on various policy issues. Powerful
incumbents owe much of their clout to their large staffs. No wonder they want
more.
But if Congress can’t resist going on its own self-indulgent spending
sprees, it can’t possibly be disciplined enough to trim federal deficits or
wasteful government programs. America to Congress: Practice what you
preach.
