“I think I have about got this thing figured out, but I have not gone over it yet with the sharp eye of opposition, but this is the way I see it. We have had, since the start of the great society, this compassion in our country that we must take care of women, infants and children, and people with disabilities and unfortunates, and we started on the right track, but somewhere in this deal we have gotten into this one word called ``more.'' Every year we want more and we want more. Elected officials have been caught in this, we might say this spirals upwards because they want to be reelected. The liberals have been in the majority, so they go from one year to the next and say, if we do not bring more into this program, then we are going to fail. If we fail, we are going to have criticism and criticism might mean that we will not get reelected. Now, I think down in the heart of hearts of the liberals on the other side of the aisle is this relief that we are finally going to stop what has been so white hot and so excessive over all of these years and we are finally going to stop it. But the unfair part of it is that as we are standing up here and saying we are not against women and infants and children. We are for them. We do not want anybody to go not being fed or taken care of.”
