Political Quotes

Mr. Speaker, I will talk faster and not do all the boards. I have come to this mike how many times over the last few years and done things, saying, let's talk about the policy revolution. Cures are part of the solution: Cure disease, change technology, adopt things. If healthcare and interest are our fragilities, then do things to bend that cost of healthcare. I have come here and shown things where you could use technology to functionally, dramatically disrupt the cost of healthcare. We have come here and talked about things like this where you can blow into it. It is a breath biopsy. It is like having a medical lab home in your cabinet. Yes, we make things like that illegal because this place often is a protection racket. It is a protection racket for incumbent bureaucracies and business models. If we could disrupt the cost of so many things in our society, whether it be healthcare, whether it be the way we do regulation, you could actually set off GDP growth. You could lower the cost drivers of this government. By doing that, you lower the cost of the financing. You tell the bond markets how serious we are. Maybe they give us some love and credit on our interest rates. There is a path where this can work. You just need Members of Congress to deal with the reality. Tell the truth about the math. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

Mr. Speaker, sometimes I come behind these microphones and often what I share, what I need to share--it is my therapy--is a bit dour, and it is sometimes fun to listen to someone who actually is happy and joyous. Now that the uplifting…
