On the recordJune 6, 1996
here we go again. Absolutely amazing. Medicare is going bankrupt, and the Democrats are doing absolutely nothing about it. They come up behind the podium just like they did last year, telling us that the Republicans are cutting Medicare when they know it is not the truth. The Washington Post spells it out. Last year during the demagoguery, the Washington Post accused the Democrats of shameless demagoguery to try to scare seniors because ``they know that is where the votes are.'' Then, Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson took it a step forward and called the President of the United States and the Democrats liars on Medicare. Why? Because it is clear. Medicare is going bankrupt and the Democrats are doing nothing about it. They do not care about my 93-year-old grandmother. They do not care about my parents. They do not care about the millions of seniors who will be without Medicare in 5 years if we do not do something about it today. They do not care. John Lennon wrote a song called ``How Do You Sleep at Night.'' I think it should be their theme song for the 1996 election.
