On the recordApril 15, 1996
Reclaiming my time, I beg to differ with the gentleman. The gentleman's proposed constitutional amendment talks about any increase in the internal revenues--it does not talk about Internal Revenue Code--the internal revenues by more than a de minimis amount, made by any change in the law. Whether Medicare part B is voluntary or not, you are certainly talking about changes in the law that drive a major, not a de minimis, a major increase in internal revenue.
