“How in the world could our friends, who call themselves conservatives, vote for anything but a conservative budget such as this that, as the Senator from North Dakota has characterized it, is radical? How could our friends, who claim they want to protect the Social Security surplus, vote for a budget that raids all of that surplus to finance tax cuts, primarily for the more well-to-do? How could our friends, who call themselves conservative, in fact, finance a lot of this budget for a prescription drug benefit that was a bailout to the pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and, lo and behold, was not what it was sold as--$400 billion over 10 years--but, instead, $535 billion? How could our conservative friends vote for a budget like this?”
