On the recordMay 29, 1996
I rise today because I am not surprised that what we are hearing about from the other side of the aisle is what we are hearing about. Anything, anything to avoid the subjects that we have been talking about on this side. Those subjects are the incredibly slow work that we saw in increasing the minimum wage. Those subjects include the incredibly slow work we have seen about truly protecting people who rely on Medicare and Medicaid, and people who have relied on the strides that we have made in the environment, and in education. What we have seen over this last 1 /2 years makes us wonder, it makes us wonder, but today it all becomes clear. What becomes clear is that they are trying to distract us. The efforts that are being made again in these 1-minutes this morning by the other side are simply to distract us from these main issues. Madam Speaker, I would hope that we can stick to these main issues and work to do these things.
