And everything in between, Hands off my Medicare, Hands off my children's Medicare. However, we're saying that. The public is saying that. Democrats say we will not give an inch on Medicare. We will control the cost within the total health care system, but we will not allow the destruction of Medicare. Keep your hands off Medicare. The public is saying that. And what are our Republican friends saying? They're saying, Keep your hands off Big Oil subsidies. Hello. What's that all about? They're saying don't touch the subsidies, the billions of dollars annually that the oil industry gets, our tax dollars given to the oil industry. Don't touch that. Keep your hands off those subsidies. But they want to put their hands onto Medicare and literally destroy Medicare.
