do not be fooled by the spinmasters on the right. They are solving a problem that does not even exist, while the poorest in America who do not enjoy our great prosperity continue to be ignored by the leadership of this House. We need real priorities: the Older Americans Act, which provides meals and other services to our seniors. Priorities: the Ryan White Care Act, which provides health care and medication for children suffering from AIDS remains to be reauthorized. Priorities: the Patient's Bill of Rights, which is supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans, still sits in conference. The multimillionaires can take care of themselves. Let us pass legislation that really helps the working families, not helping the rich get richer under the House leadership.
