“Which is more money than we spent to win World War II. And at the time that most of these programs started under the big Government expansion programs of Lyndon Johnson, the poverty level was 14 percent. Today it is about 14 percent. So for all that we have done, we have only created great jobs for bureaucrats. But here in the backdrop of all this debt, the Atlanta Legal Aid Society sued the State of Georgia to try to force it to use Medicaid funds, which is welfare insurance, to pay for a sex change operation. The case was called Rush versus Parham. Fortunately, it was dismissed. But that is the kind of ridiculous thinking that we have got out there. Now, the gentleman from California will find this interesting. The legal services also sued the State of California because although one immigrant did not have, excuse me, very big distinction, these were illegal aliens.”
