“You know, gentleman from Maryland, it seems to me that there are in a book somewhere, and I do not think it said Uncle Sam is my shepherd, it said somebody else, and I think that in America we have just begun to depend too much on Uncle Sam for being a little bit more than what he is and I think that some of the Representatives in the House of Representatives over the years, probably over the last 30 to 40 years, have gotten to the point where they justified their existence by expanding the role of what Federal Government does, and unfortunately, what it has led to is a lot of tragedy, I think, and into a current situation that, again, I am embarrassed to have to defend. I really am. We have gotten to the point in this country where it is sad, frankly, the way we treat one another in this country and based upon this overriding dependence on Federal Government, and, again, my word to the opposite party, to the Democratic leadership, is, you should be very embarrassed to defend the way things are in Washington right now.”
