“I love the name the CHUMP Act. Again, I think it would be hard for Americans to believe that this program is as it is. For example, these cartons represent, each one of them, 22 cartons of cigarettes, 22 million new Americans that will need to start smoking to pay for the SCHIP bill. I guess you can call that a CHUMP Act, because I don't think 22 million Americans who don't smoke now are going to start. It shows the kid climbing up and then it shows the kid parachuting down. You call it the CHUMP Act. We call it here the cliff. Maybe you can explain one more time for the voters back home what this cliff means in terms of the funding of the program, because I think it is important for people to understand that it appears the funding is there, but then in year 5, whoops, it disappears.”
