In the early days, it was like a 50/50, not 100 percent coming from the Federal Government.

Yeah. It blends out closer to the 70. Now, talking about the expansion population. That is where--

Mr. Speaker, it goes further. Have you had the occasion yet, Mr. Speaker, where a group comes into your office--somehow, they were put on a plane, put in a hotel, those things here, they have no understanding of the math, the mechanics…

Mr. Roy, we use the term ``socialize.'' How do I get it to part of our folklore, our use of language? Borrowing money is a tax hike.

You have to understand. Okay. You are not going to raise taxes. I despise raising taxes.

The MedPAC report, since I am the only idiot who came here to the floor with the MedPAC, but that is partially my responsibility being on the Committee on Ways and Means. The MedPAC report was all highlighted, and we showed the MedPAC…

It is just to be paid at a future date. Yet, because the curve is now steepening--remember that I just showed you some charts that says we may double U.S. debt this decade. The curve is like this. You don't think we are not going to reach…
