“Mr. Speaker, I think what we need to do is remember and remind the folks at home who are watching, at least in Louisville, KY, it is just after dinnertime and they may have surfed and ended on C-SPAN, or they may be watching it on purpose. No matter which, what we need to remind them is the Committee on Ways and Means, who knows what these words mean, but we know it means the Medicare committee, because that is what is going to be dealt with in the next 30 days in that committee. That, according to the Washington Times, is one reason that is suggested that the Republican majority has changed the rules in midstream. As I understand it, never before had the majority changed the world in midstream, changed the number, added somebody, just added somebody to the committee in the middle of the Congress. No. The ratios were set at the beginning and they were kept, so we have to ask ourselves, was it done, as the Washington Times suggested, in order to save a freshman a tough vote?”
