On the recordMay 19, 2004
as I listen to the retorts from the other side, I think they must have adopted that great Republican philosophy that has kind of come back here recently, ``Do not worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon.'' And that sure is what we are doing right now: loading the wagon for our children and grandchildren. I hear them talking about drug cards. You just call that 800 number and see what happens. Nothing. It is just like the drug card. You get nothing. It is another way to trick people. We are going to be asked this week to raise the debt ceiling again, by $700 billion, and to put our children again deeper and deeper and deeper in debt. It is insane to continue to do this to the next generations. If we are doing so frazzling good, then how come we are broke? I just do not understand that. I hear them get up here every day and talk about how good things are. It is time to do the right thing.
