“Absolutely. I have been here 10 years; and according to the liberal, big-government types in Washington, anything they are not happy with they call a cut. There are, frankly, excesses in the Federal Government system that should be cut. But it does not matter what it is; everybody who is against something, that is a cut. That is a cut. Yet veteran spending has increased. Education spending has increased. Medicare has increased. Our prescription drug plan, which will help seniors get affordable prescription drugs, and it should not be partisan, Americans should not have to choose between food and medicine, and we all have parents and grandparents who need these drugs, and we all hopefully will be seniors ourselves, we do not need partisan rhetoric. We need responsible legislation. To answer the gentleman's question, it is the standard around here. Every time somebody does not like something, it is a cut. It is a tax break for the wealthy, or it is going to kill the environment. Or that the seniors and the children are going to go starving. One gets used to it and kind of moves on. I wanted to mention to the gentleman that one of the other things that we are doing, not just Medicare, we are trying to come up with an affordable and accessible health care. That is very, very important for small businesses in America.”
